Fishiest Ebay transaction I've ever had

I bought an undervalued commercial drink machine from Craigslist and listed it on Ebay. Well, the winning bidder is from Poland. They explain that I'll be shipping to a US address. Paypal payment comes in from a 3rd party unrelated to the auction with a request to ship to a company in IL. I look up the address on Google maps and it's obviously a residential address. I called the phone number listed on the Paypal payment and it goes to the cell phone of a guy with an eastern European accent.

The payment also had a web address attached:
http://www.kupujemywusa.com
Anyone speak Polish?

I think I'm going to refund the payment and relist this item. My gut feeling is that if I ship off this piece of equipment I will come to regret it. Thoughts?
