300 bucks notebook, it might not seem like much, but it's the highest worth item I ever sold on ebay
I am a bit worried because I am selling my most costly item to a new user with 0 feedback score
So this guy literally just joined today, went to ebay and bought my item.
His address is confirmed, but it's a condo that's currently on sale on on realty website, and the address said to ship to the front desk
Paypal also said "The sender of this payment is Non-U.S. - Verified"
So what should I do? Is this a safe gamble?
If I choose Expedited shipping with signature, I should be covered for any problem, right?

That is old info, they haven't updated all of the pages. Signature confirmation isn't required unless the item + shipping was more than $850Cdn

Signature Confirmation as described below if the full amount of the payment, including shipping and taxes, is $850 CAD, or its foreign currency equivalent provided below:

in this situation, I would not take the risk. For the extra $1.50, get signature required to protect yourself

Better than having it just dropped off. Not sure if Ebay would even proyect a seller when delivered to the front desk of a hotel

I often mark parcels going to an obvious work address "Personal Documents Enclosed" . Yeah, it's just an invoice/packing slip, but most receptionists would be very wary of opening something marked that way.
Even if there was also a laptop inside.
And the Signature Required, would also be worth popping an extra $1.50 for, even if Paypal doesn't require it.
You want the parcel to get to the buyer personally. And preferably to be signed for by him.
