Remember, they reached out to you not vice-versa. They need to issue payment before you ship the card. If that is payment via US Mail and trade, then so be it.
Anyone who trusts a random e-bay member to ship at the same time is ASKING to be ripped off. I see posts about it constantly and ask where did their logic go? You have a buyer asking you to ship items before payment. Treat it as such.

Agreed. A couple years ago, I reached out to Tony Etrade (Tony Arnold?) via eBay offering him a T213 Ty Cobb in trade for a few of his E92 Dockmans he had. He didn't know me from Adam, and I didn't even know if he would respond or not. Well, he did and was very pleasant to work with. He asked me to ship first and I had no problem with it (like Sean mentioned I reached out to him, not vice-versa). The deal went very smooth.
