Does this sound dodgy?

Hi would welcome some advice from more experienced ebayers

I sold item and had payment through paypal. I have said will only sell in UK on my ebay sales. Just had this message from the buyer

I am writing you to ask to pack it very well as I gave you UK address but this is the address of my transport company ...I dont live in UK ...I bought this baby monitor for a present and I want to receive it in perfect order and good looking ..thanks for your understanding and co operation

Buyer has a 100% feedback score of 21
I will be sending Royal Mail Special Delivery

Do you think it is safe to send?

Thanks

In the Paypal transaction there will be a green OK TO SEND message if it is.

What is the address (not specificially) but is it a transport company?

Paypal message says - You can now send any items.

If you go into the transaction, the actual page for that payment, should so OK TO SEND or ELIGIBLE for seller protection.

Looked on transaction is green tick with OK to post and
Seller Protection:Eligible

Perfect, then you need to post to the address it gave (where it says LANCASHIRE on mine).

Do so within 7 days, via a trackable online means and with signature if over £150. Keep your certificate of posting for 180 days.

You are covered. Any problems, come back here and ask for help.

thanks for the advice
Fairly new to selling on ebay and I was worried that perhaps it was a scam or something

It's not unusual, I have a customer who lives in Cyprus and I send all his stuff to a shipping company. But the main thing is, you are covered. Just keep the CoP for 180 days. Add the tracking ref to the Paypal transaction too, that will help if you lose it in the future.
