Non-US, Un-verified Paypal??

I sold an item I had listed on ebay for about $250, and the buyer has a confirmed address but where it says "Payment from" it indicates to me "The sender of this payment is Non-U.S. - Unverified)"

 

The payment is still pending, but I just do not like the way any of this looks. The ebay account is also less than a week old with no feedback.

 

I think I understand what this means, but my question is whether or not I should be worried even if the payment clears? I will obviously send it with tracking and signature confirmation, but what else can I do or should I do to protect myself?

 

I have read too many horror stories of people being scammed on ebay as sellers and I do not want to end up on the receiving end of that. To complicate matters further, the address is in Florida, with all the hurricane stuff going on it just makes me even me more weary right now.

For me it wasn't legit. The first one deleted his account after I talked to ebay for investigation. The second just said nothing about my inquiry related to his mismatching account names so I just cancelled it. Don't ship until you see that the payment has been completed.
