Go to Ebay on the grounds that you specified you wanted UK bidders only.
They should be able to advise you and avoid you getting bad feedback.
EMail him and explain that you will only post to the uk.Hi, we’ve had to remove your signature. If you’re not sure why please read the forum rules or email the forum team if you’re still unsure - MSE ForumTeam0 -
If you go through the NPB process and for the reason click on "buyer wanted postage to a country that I don't offer" and you should get your fees back instantly as this happened when I listed a PSP they tried to scam me so I put that reason on ebay and as soon as I entered the details my refund came straight through0

Set up a new (fake) email address and send him a Virus.
then delete email address.
Only if he is a scammer... or maybe not
