Hi. I just sold a broken lens on Ebay. The buyer wrote me,

"Hi - Can I ask a favor?
I'd like to pay you for the lens and ask that you NOT SHIP it for a day or so. I'm trying to find a camera repair that can fix it for me. I will ask you to ship it directly there.

Is this OK?

Thanks so much."

What would you do? He has a 119/119 (100%) positive feedbacks.

Thanks.

As long as he pays you with a trusted form of payment, it seems ok. None of this "I'll pay you twice as much and you pay the retailer" business.

Have shipped audio gear directly to manufacturers for power supply conversions when the unit was sold to a buyer in europe. Done at the buyer's request, and done after payment received. No problem just ship it with a method that confirms delivery.

Buy insurance also. It's cheap.

I just sold 3 of my cheap lenses on EBay. I wouldn't ship anything unless whatever payment he gives you clears. While I would RATHER send to HIS address.....you COULD ship to any address he gives you. But, request a return signed receipt and save the email he sends you. CoverYourA**.

Edited to add: If it's an international shipment. I would ONLY ship to his address.

Oh, also...I don't think Paypal/ebay will cover anything that happens as a result of shipping it to an alternate address. Just something to be aware of.
