wire transfers safe?

I just got an offer from a new (zero feedback) Audiogoner from Brazil, who wants to pay by wire transfer from a US bank account, and wants me to ship to a friend in Texas. I'm inclined to trust him, but all this gives me pause.

Anyone know whether wire transfers can be "recalled" after deposit? I wouldn't want to ship only to have the payment recalled afterwards and no recourse other than in Brazil!

I see no problems here. Be certain you get the buyer to acknowledge in writing
that your liability for shipping ends once the item has been safely delivered and
signed for by the seller's Texas agent.

If the buyer won't give you this release, then kill the deal.
