Sorry to ask.
Did this not seem suspect?
Why did you not request full-cash or bank transfer etc. for such a high value deal.
Especially since paypal does not cover cash-collect.
Ebay has reached the 'holy grail' of any business plan.
Their brand is synonymous with their product.
People say "ebay it" instead of "auction it".
Ebay is as likely to fade away as Microsoft... not gona happen.
The vast majority of sellers are happy with using ebay.
There will always be some that get stung and bad news spreads faster than good news.
Ebay has allowed me to sell items to practically every country in the world.
There really is no other way to get this much exposure in the market.
I think WU has been "banned" for some time now.
I had an auction pulled for offering WU beginning of last year.
Bank to bank (wire transfers) are allowed. I get them all the time.
wouldn't worry about UK customs,
prob the weakest in the world...
u could label it as "Cocaine" value $10,000 and it would prob still get through (with no tax!)
why on earth would you post this.
can you imagine how many emails that guy gets.. not to mention all the other things he needs to deal with.
if you cant wait just cancel the payment.

courier or royal mail?
Switzerland is not in the EU.
