so im just boxing up the decca to send to the buyer and he has his pay-pal address as an argos store in Birmingham,sounds like a scam to me as he only has 1% feedback.

what do you think?

yes i was just thinking that,if you google ebay/argos theres a load of dodgy stuff about getting ripped off.

You must have inadvertently set it up (or failed to deselect) using Argos stores as a delivery option.
There's a scheme whereby ebay items can be sent to the Argos store of your choice for collection.

I've chosen this as an option for several items I've bought, handy if you don't think you'll be in to catch the post, and sometimes faster delivery than it states too.

It might be genuine so best wait and see if he gets in touch, if he does then get his landline number and home address before going any further.

IF it is genuine he might give you grief for cancelling the sale.
