Someone clicked buy it now, and paid, and has a UK address. Email address is Russian though.
Can I still be scammed at this point? Nothing seems out of order so far, but I am a right noob at this ebay lark.
I'm not racist but I wouldn't be worried.
yes you can still be scammed it was damaged, it bever arrived, not as described etc - whther you want to worry about an e-mail address is really your choice but, iirc, it is not indicative of the likelyhood of this happening.
Surley a scammer could easily get an Internet e-mail address to trick you...perhaps its a double bluff 😉
As for the reason I will go for a Russian who lives In britain as my wild stab in the dark
There are russian people in the UK
This Q crops up here a fair bit. Generally it seems ok if normal paypal and a uk mail address - ie basically follow the rules (ship to registered address etc).
Obviously be cautiuos: but read this through to the (happy) end:

There's been another couple since - I'll see if I can find them,...
If you get an american guy in russia answering to the name of Edward Snowdon, there are a lot of people who would like his address and would probably pay more than the item you've sold 😆
oh ffs get a life
