Default Ebay and selling to Estonia

Hi,

An auction I had on Ebay for a head unit has just finished, the winner is from Estonia & has 0 feedback.

I had an email from another Estonian a few days ago who was enquiring as to whether I would be prepared to send the unit to Estonia if he won the auction. I checked his name & he had good feedback & had bought several other stereo items recently, I was in a very good mood and foolishly agreed to send it should he win so long as all postage costs were paid up front. I also ticked the box to show the reply in my auction

Now this other Estonian has won the auction but with 0 feedback i'm very wary! What do people suggest I do to ensure I don't get ripped off?

Do I tell the winner I don't want to send it to Estonia to a user with 0 feedback & probably take a negative feedback?

Cheers

I'd say the estonian are very thrustworthy people unlike their eastern neighbors. Anyhow, since Estonia is part of EU now, there's no problems what so ever with nearly free and fast bank transfers (~1e) or even COD if oyu wish so. Get payed first if you don't feel secure.
