Is it safe to send an item to the Phillipines?

Hi, I just had an e-mail from a guy that wants to buy an item off my ebay store but he wants to pay by western union and wants it posted to the phillipines what do you guys think???

I would say absolutely not. Western union fraud is a common scam. And most of these scammers prey on newer or lower feedback sellers. I would never accept a western union payment for an ebay item. Period.
