I am getting an awful lot of interested in my 42056 Porsche, probably because
I am the cheapest set out there for a new set.

However, most of them are Chinese/Japanese students living in the UK, shipping
to Germany. Buying it for a friend or family member and want to ship it to China
from Germany.

I find this so weird, and I am not sure if I should trust it.

If I take payment through PayPal I can see if it all adds up with email address
and shipping address, and with seller protection and a tracking number, I should
be protected. But I have the feeling I am missing something.

It might be genuine, it might not be.

Thoughts?

China, Japan, U.K., Germany… They all blend together in my imagination.

People have all sorts of legitimate reasons for wanting to ship something to
someplace other than where they currently are. Have the buyer pay via PayPal,
ship to the PayPal address, and ship with tracking.
