In the 15 years i have been selling here, never been defrauded by a buyer. Encountered fraudulent sellers, but never a bad buyer. So they buy, and pay, then i ship without worry.
Are there fraudulent buyers? Yes, i read about them here on the forums regularly. But i don’t worry about a buyer until something definitive happens. Scammers always tip their hands. As a result, i give buyers the benefit of the doubt.
Shipping to the Virgin Islands, to a Home Depot, at this price point, doesn’t raise my suspicions.
It is good to be cautious when selling online. Listening to one’s gut usually serves one well. If this were a high fraud item in a high fraud category, going to a foreign country with a questionable mail system, then i would pause.
But under the circumstances you describe, i would feel confident shipping the item out.
Best of luck to you whatever you decide. We each must respect our risk tolerance levels.
