    I would only send it to a confirm UK paypal address and send it signed for and insured (but if you are happy to insure it for £28 recorded delivery would cover this amount). Paypal are far to quick to take money out of your account if you haven't met every single requirement, ie confirmed address and signed for, just for starters.

    Hope the transaction goes okay for you and you get your money.

    Just reading through this and my past experience has been that I have asked for a UK address otherwise I'm not sending the item! So I'm pleased to hear that he's supplied one. Fingers crossed!

    He's now paid but the address on paypal shows as un-verified.
    I also cannot pay any funds into my bank account at present as the dd has been cancelled with my old bank and my new bank is in my married name and my paypal account is in my Maiden name and it said that the transfer may not go through and if it doesn't i'll get charged £14 so have to wait till Tuesday to send my marraige cert and passport to them.

    What's the buyer's history? Is it just bags they are buying or random items? What else are they bidding on? Might be worth looking to see if they are putting in loads of speculative bids on similar expensive items.
