I've sold an i7 4790k on eBay for about £90. The buyer has a had an account since 2013 but only has 8 feedback and that's all "more than one year ago". A bit more poking shows they last bought on eBay "over 5 years" ago.

They've given their address to what looks like a housing development in Milton Keynes that is still being built.

What would you do?

Send it and risk it gets returned as "faulty" and I end up with a carboard box and they get a free 4790k?

Cancel the sale and wait for another "80% off selling fees"?

or a third option?

This is the worry. Or they wait outside and intercept the postie.

Either way if they get it, declare it faulty and send an empty box back via signed for delivery then eBay will give them the money back and what can I do?
 
That's what I was starting to think. If you have a look on the eBay seller forum it is full of posts about this kind of scam and eBay siding with the buyer. I've had no real issues in the past but it sound's like it's getting worse.

Asking for advice after the fact. Why do people do this? Surely the sensible thing is to ask for advice before selling it on eBay.

If the person was an active user and had a decent feedback profile I'd send it. I also sold a motherboard to someone has lots of recent feedback and it's already parcelled up and ready to go tomorrow morning.
