I've had situations like this before, and unfortunately you're still at the mercy of the buyer and EBay's buyer protection rules. It's possible he could receive the item in the mail, alter it, and then claim it's not in the stated condition. He gets his refund and you get damaged goods back. There are all kinds of scenarios where you would end up losing in the end.
If it were me, I'd just refund his money and move on. It's the cost of doing business on EBay and happens to everyone eventually. Not worth the likely hassle you may get if he's dishonest.
