Receiving payment without getting scammed

Hi I posted an item for sale on a selling site and someone has contacted me abroad asking to buy it. As it is a high value item I’m concerned in case I ship and they them request their money back. The cost of shipping is approx £84 which means the item is tracked at every stop, signed for and insured against loss. I’m just wondering how I can cover myself if it is a scam? As long as I have proof of postage showing the address they sent via email as the shipping address should I be ok? Thank you
