I pointed that out to him and he suggested sending FedEx with tracking and he would pay for it.
It's a $400 item. Am I being over concerned or am I being scammed?
Trust your gut. This seems off.

If an eBay buyer ever asks you to ship an item to a different address, don't do it. Ask them if you should cancel the sale so they can re-purchase and enter the correct address. If you ship to an address other than the one in eBay's system (i.e., the one that comes up when you go to print the shipping label) you're not covered.
