I have done this and I make a couple of suggestions.
1) if you aren't familiar with the buyer or they are a "newbie". Make sure the address is confirmed in Paypal. Unconfirmed addresses get dienied.
2) only use Paypal
3) Insist on insurance and if no insurance is taken, send the buyer an email asking them to acknowledge in writing that they assume full responsiblity for loss, damage etc.
You are ttaking very little risk as long as the funds clear and you cover your butt on the insurance issue. That way if a claim is made for lost or damage, you can send Paypal the email they sent you prior to shipping assuming no laiblity on your part. You don't want to be out the gear and the money.
All that being said, I've had very good luck in over 400 transactions here and on Ebay with the notable exception of Germany where 2 packages at seperate time disappeared and have never been traced. I would never ship there again.
