Shipping a mobile phone to Moldova

    Hello, I listed a smartphone on ebay, and forgot to exclude shipping destinations such as eastern European countries, so the winning bid on my auction was a buyer in Moldova. Now, in my ad, I clearly stated its locked to Vodafone ireland network, so not sure what use it would be in Moldova, unless he can get it unlocked there, or is coming to ireland or whatever.

    He has already paid through paypal, and it says on paypal its ok to ship to him. What im wondering is, would it be safe to ship, or is it a bit fishy? Is Moldova in the EU?

    Should I just refund him and cancel the transaction, or would I be covered if I sent it by registered post?

    Are you sure he hasn't sent you a scam email from paypal? Happens all the time! Make sure that the correct amount has been lodged to your paypal, look at the address the email you received from paypal came from? Did he pay the correct amount or too much?

    He joined in january this year, and has 15 feedback. Im not sure if its ok to post direct links to his account page, so I wont.

    The items and feedback are all varied, he seems to buy a lot of electronics, so doesnt look that dodgy on that part.

    No, logged into paypal website, and its there in full amount. It says completed also.

    Any other things I should check?

    I emailed him saying is 100% sure he knows the phone is locked and will need to be unlocked to be used in moldova, and he replied saying "yes I know, its ok".

    Would I have to print customs forms and that if I was to post this to him?
