Didn't he say he had the paypal money already? If you've got the paypal money received, and someone expects an item in return for that money, how does that mean that someone is scamming you?

Is the only suspicious factor in this transaction the geographical location of the shipping address?

Hi! I'd like to buy your high value item. I'm in the US and so is my payment details but I'm buying this for my brother in another country as a present. Can you ship it direct to them? I don't have any US contact details available but you can call my brother in this other country. Thanks!
