Do pack it well. My husband bought a featherweight for me from eBay and while the case was packed well, the machine wasn't secured well inside the case. It was uninjured, but what was a pristine case now has a hole in it.
If you aren't needing to sell immediately, why not wait a bit and see if there are any interested parties in the UK or even ones who could pickup? I sold some car stuff years ago on eBay and my first interested person wanted me to send it to Germany. I declined and ended up selling something I was given for free to a buyer in the US for $800. It was an easy ship.
