It's good that you came here to ask.
Is the paypal address confirmed?
Does the name match?
Is this a new ebayer?My TV is broken!
Edit: refunded £515 for TV 1.5 years out of warranty - thank you Sale of Goods Act! :j0 -

also if you are selling a mobile phone, take a note of the imei/serial number that can be found on a label under the battery (or on the box it came in) or type in *#06#.
it should start with 35 (an example of an imei is 351234567890123)0 -
If the address is not confirmed then ideally you want the buyer to get it confirmed before you ship as otherwise you have very little protection.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the eBay, Auctions, Car Boot & Jumble Sales, Boost Your Income, Praise, Vents & Warnings, Overseas Holidays & Travel Planning , UK Holidays, Days Out & Entertainments boards.

There's nothing overtly dodgy about the buyer... he hasn't been on a buying spree - just been semi-active after being registered a little over a year.
You definitely ought to get the address thing checked out. He's registered in Leicestershire. Remember you don't have seller protection if the address is unconfirmed - for the value of the item, that's your call whether you want to risk it.
The OP's phone has sold at around the £50 mark btw.My TV is broken!
