I've already requested the amount be transferred to my savings account so my PayPal balance goes to 0. I sent him an email stating that once that clears, I will ship the item out to him.
While relooking at his PayPal transaction, I noticed that he actually did ask me to declare the item > 50% of what it sold for. I politely told him "no" in my email. Next time I offer to sell an item internationally, I will be sure to state that I will not do this in big, bold, capital letters.
He already replied to me asking why I am holding up shipment since he paid and why I will not drop the declared value. I had already told him it would constitute customs fraud and I was unwilling to do that.
My experience with challenging a PayPal payment from the buyer's perspective (was sent broken merchandise and the seller promised but refused to make good on refund) is that if the seller's account is empty, PayPal will not do anything.
