Would not do it myself. Use the excuse that you have to ship to the confirmed address on the paypal account. Let the buyer ship it.

Anything with an address saying NIGERIA would send me running quickly in the other direction. My advice is to not do it.
I am a ebay member, I haven't posted items on ebay yet, but I have posted them on other posting sites. I came across this forum when goggling "Bank of Essex" and was amazed about what I found. Me being extra careful and researching everything, I almost became a victim of the "Bank of Essex" scam. A buyer contacted me by the name of DAVE BRIAN ([email protected])stating he wanted to purchase a digital camera I posted on Postaroo for his son BABATUNDE GOKE who lives in Nigeria (15 SIJUADE STREET JERICHO IBADAN OYO-STATE NIGERIA 23402). To make a long story short, he wanted me to mail the camera to his son and payment was to made via a Moneygram. I received a Moneygram confirmation from "Bank of Essex". What really put the icing on the cake, I goggled the son's name and found another forum where a victim was asking if anyone knew Babatunde Goke at the very same address...she stated that she had not received her money from... BEWARE FRIENDS!"
