Furthermore, what your friend does with the paper he buys from you is really none of your concern. The ethical problem is between him, the professor and the institution.
In the business world, people "farm out" projects all the time. The person accepting the project is only responsible for completing the project and nothing more.
There is nothing inherently wrong with writing a paper ... indeed, that was the assignment given to a whole class of students, so it unlikely is not an unethical task.
There is something inherently wrong with academic fraud, but that would belong to the student passing the paper off as his own.
That being said, you made a deal with agreed upon terms and a completion date. You should live up to your bargain.

Not sure how "Ethics" even came up in OPs original post actulaly. Sounds like he wants to know if it's weasely to back out of his original deal.
Oh and gonna have to disagree with you - I think that if you knowingly partake in an unethical act, then yes, you are being unethical (I understand there is nothing inherently wrong with writing a paper, but there is knowing what the paper's intended use is).
