Always do, although other party is arranging courier.
I'd be careful of doing it this way. If it doesn't arrive Paypal will refund the payment, but because you haven't arranged the courier you have no-one to pursue to get your item back or an insurance payout.

Won't I get a tracking number/receipt when it's picked up to keep tabs on it?
The problem is that you have no contract with the courier because the other guy is arranging it. If the item goes missing, it is then up to the buyer to deal with the courier and he will get any payout if it is insured. However Paypal take the view that the seller is responsible for delivery so if it doesn't get delivered they will automatically refund the buyer leaving you out of pocket with no-one to turn to.

Ah ok, I see what your saying, it's going abroad which seems even more risky lol, I'd better put a disclaimer with buyer that I have no responsibility it owt happens and get him to agree and forward that to PayPal should a case be opened? What do you reckon? Or should I nominate to send only?

If it was me, I would play it safe and tell him that I will arrange the courier - especially if it's a valuable item.
