iPhone and eBay

So, I have been having a time selling my iPhone 4S on eBay and Craigslist. The last two buyers ended up being scams, and eBay alerted me of this before I shipped (literally as I was on my way to mail it).

I sold it to another buyer on Christmas Eve. The buyer emailed me to tell me Monday they wanted it shipped to another address in the same state, and said they had updated it on eBay and PayPal. Paypal still shows the old address when I go to the page.

The money has cleared into my bank account, but I am having reservations shipping it. I just messaged the buyer to tell him the address had not changed. The buyer does have feedback from 2 weeks ago saying they were a good buyer. Maybe I am just being overly cautious.

Just wait for PayPal to confirm the new address. Don't ship before that. If you ship to an unconfirmed address PayPal will give you no support.

Yeah, I just read that on eBay's site. Will I need to do a new transaction or will it just change automatically? The new address is in the same city as the old one but I know I won't have any seller protection if I don't ship to the verified address.

I refunded him because the address won't change with my transaction. He will have to repurchase it. Problem is, I can't send him a new invoice because eBay thinks he's already paid.

Any idea how to solve this? Or will I be forced to reenlist the item? He said the reason the address was the same is because that is what it was at the time he made the purchase.
