I've called eBay, told them of my concerns and have their "120% guarantee " that I am fully protected should the buyer claim a not received/described or return an empty box. They said the buyer has a number of other active and 'in good standing' accounts linked to the same email/paypal. Given all this and having taken the call reference number I shall get on and post. Cheers all

I wonder what would happen if you sent an empty box? Would you be fully protected still?

I would consider your ability to do anything about that should it turn out not to be true. "But some guy on the phone said it would be fine, here's some random digits of a reference number he gave me" isn't much good if Paypal adjudicate against you, no appeal possible.
Ultimately sellers have to trust every single buyer not to fuck them over.

You could always give ebay a call/message and see what their take on it is. Certainly informing them of your concerns prior to sending is probably a good way to get them ‘on side’.
I’ve done this where someone has contacted me after purchasing an item to ask me to send it to an alternate address and they advised me how to protect myself.
