The guy can be using a legitimate mail forwarding service. I do that from time to time when buying from paranoid US sellers (surprisingly many of them are on ebay and agon recently). In this case they send the stuff within US, and forwarding company re-pack it if needed and send to me here in Europe (I pay forwarding co. for their services). 100% legitimate, and good for buyers.Check the guy's feedback, try to call him, try to contact other sellers that sold him the stuff and ask their opinion. There is absolutely no need to become paranoid just because he is not from US.
Of course, there is always a chance of a scam, so you should be careful and use a normal common sense. To be on a 100% safe side, I would ask him to send you a wire transfer or a western union transfer (NOT a bidpay check, but a normal cash transfer). If you get the money fine - why should you care about the rest like HIS way to deliver goods back to his home country?
