Not to rain on your parade, but I would be careful on this. This guy may be fine, but he has sold on item in 6 months. His shipping estimate is probably not right. I would make sure he knows what he is doing shipping an acoustic guitar. Not easy to ship safely, especially this time of year. Could arrive in pieces, and even with coverage, that is a mess. I am sure he is decent based on record, but I would make darn sure he knows how to ship this. He may know nothing about it.
edit: oh, I see you are passing anyway on this. I will leave the comment anyway. Shipping instruments is risky when people don't know what they are doing. I bought my first Les Paul on Ebay, real nice AAA top Gibson Studio. Beautiful flame. But anyway, I contacted the guy and got involved to make sure he knew how to pack it. It turned out that he did not, and so he went to UPS and let them do it. I paid a little more for that, but better safe than sorry.
Also, don't imagine that shipping is not more dangerous this time of year. It is, they hire a lot of temps, and do a lot of volume. If it is something of value, you ship it next day. They have their better people working those items.
