Ebay buyer wants address changed

    I've sold my old camera on Ebay to someone in Britain, the Paypal payment lists what I assume is their home address. Now they've mailed me saying that address is wrong, asking for it to be sent elsewhere(a business address). I'm sending it tracked, should I just ignore the messages and send it to the PP address, or what?

    The cameras too expensive for me to send it, then have the buyer try and scam a refund from me for misdelivery.

    Thanks in advance.

    It would leave you open to getting scammed in my opinion .
    Maybe get the buyer to cancel the transaction and you to put up a new listing so the buyer can fix his delivery address.

    Yeah that's what has me worried. Incase anyone else ends up in a similar predicament I found this link:

    http://www.ebay.com/gds/Sending-to-an-Alternate-Address-for-Buyers-and-Sellers-/10000000014599377/g.html

    Essentially Ebay says in such a scenario as mine, it's either cancel the transaction and resubmit one with correct address, or send a paypal invoice which is tricky. I'll go back to buyer so.

    If he is a legit buyer he should have no problem cancelling and buying again.
