So, you want to help this user violate the terms of service of the website in
question, and possibly even Australian and/or Chinese law? Well, I guess if
you really /want/ to do that...

Yup. The OP probably better find an Australian proxy to handle mail service,
as well, and ensure that payment options don't trace back to China.
Most online auction sites, like other businesses that face routine fraud
attempts, take an extremely dim view of this sort of activity. Personally,
I wouldn't touch the situation with a very long stick, but to each their own.
