Is there any way of extricating myself from this as a seller ? - might be wrong but I just have a bad feeling about this buyer - was going to send it signed for at least , but to be honest I would rather not send it at all ,as I foresee hassle ( purely based on viewing this feedback left )
As Martin says - please be nice - there is no such thing as a stupid question ! ;)

    To be honest I've seen a lot worse. I don't think you are looking at a scammer, just someone that likes leaving neutral and negative feedback.

    I've got one at the moment who leave negatives for everyone and it appears allegedly, these negatives turn to positives when they get a refund. I googled the name and address and when I saw the result I thought, hmm what a nice gentleman... https://www.highbeam.com/doc/1P2-35540905.html

    That feedback is not bad at all. One thing is sure,mid you cancel you will get bad feedback.

    Feedback is no longer classed as a defect. Send as normal, signed for if you prefer but you risk the buyer complaining about change of terms on postage.

    Leaving 8 dissatisfied feedback comments out of 27 would seem rather higher than average to me though

    He's left 27 feedback.

    5 are negative. 1 of those sellers is Narud. 1 has the seller admitting the item was lost in customs!

    1 is neutral, asking where the item is.

    I would be dissatisfied if my current seller bailed on a deal.....

    You have to look at things in perspective, if that scares you, you shouldn't be selling.

    not scared of selling ( having done so for last 15 years) - I think that 8 out of 27 is high - my opinion

    Ignore list in place as a certain user and their comments are just not worth my time looking at....;)...sounds of a toilet being flushed.....:)

    Because they don't say what you want to hear? How very mature.

    Feel free to add me to the list ;)

    I can't find their post you quoted, perhaps they realised .....

    Some people can't be given any help, I do wonder why they bother asking if they only want an answer that suits them. :D
