    Follow the usual rules for protection- I'm not sure what else you mean?

    Send tracked to the address paypal tell you is OK to send to, make sure your courier guarantees a signature on arrival (regulars may correct me here as I know the protection requirement is changing re signature but I am not sure when).

    ^What Soolin said. Your buyer could be sending to a family member if it's the same surname. I send gifts all the time, changing the address in PayPal.
