Okay so I am selling my powerbook over ebay and a guy contacted me over it and asked if I would do escrow.com and I'm fine with that but he wants me to ship it to New Zealand, Should I be worried???

Perhaps, but if your not happy with deal then you don't have to agree to anything. If it sounds fishy then don't do it.

Oh yea FYI if the guy already won the auction, if you did not put on the auction that you would accept escrow then thats it. If the buyer will only do escrow then don't do it, you can change your mind to do escrow but it is your choice. Simply relist the item and file non-paying bidder requests and put in "failure to comply with terms" as the reason. You will be refunded the fees for the auction once all that goes through.

What's so alarming about New Zealand? As long as he's paying for shipping, it's no more difficult for you to get it to there...
