eBay

HI guys i really need input in this, i recent listed this item for sale:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/222875466410?ssPageName=STRK:MESOX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1561.l2649

And a buyer bought the item pretty quickly.

He paid everything with paypal, Now i was a little bit too quick to print out the shipping label, when i noticed that the address on the label was a little fishy. I ended up having to void the label and research the address. The address seems to be in the middle of nowhere, researching it online states that it's actually storage facility.

This feels like a possible scam to me, i need advice guys, what should i do? should i just cancel the order? and can i cancel the order and what happens if this person don't accept the cancellation request? thanks. ALso i've sent the buyer a message to verified his address, and i'm waiting to see what he says

P.S. what happened to the ebay seller options, i remember when we sold something we could excplicitly ell ebay to only accept verified paypal sellers and also tell ebay to exclude people with unpaid item strikes, i don't see that option anymore, or am i blind?

Stop looking up your buyers! For all you know the guy works there, and maybe even lives in an attached apartment.

No kidding. So long as nothing flags as unverified on either end - I really don't pay a ton of attention to the addresses that I am shipping to, unless something about the interaction I've had with the buyer has made me super suspicious. There is really no way out of a transaction unless there really is a issue with the shipping address or the buyer requests it without getting a defect on your selling account, so I don't stress about it.

I, like several others here, actually like the freight forwarders. I've never gotten an INR (knock on wood) from a buyer who uses a forwarding service, unlike direct international shipping.
