Re: ebay scam?

It's highly unusual for a scam to offer to pay through Paypal though...usually they run a mile when you mention payment only accepted through Paypal, because of the security and traceability of the transaction. Also, once they pay you, you have their money. The "usual" scam is when they offer to pay a small deposit and ask you to organise shipping and they "promise" to pay the rest through something like Western Union. That sort of thing gets alarm bells ringing.
If anything, she seems wary of you when you offered to give her your bank account details to pay the money into, and she wants to only use Paypal. Putting money directly into someones bank can be OK on Ebay, but it isn't recommended...traceability again.
Seems legitimate, but contact Paypal and ask...they'll know if there's anything fishy going on.
