Although buyers can pay using PayPal on eBay, sellers are not paid through PayPal, and sellers have no need to provide any contact information prior to payment. It is a policy violation to send or request contact details prior to payment. This is to prevent various scams or fee-avoiding off-eBay transactions from occurring.
If a buyer insists on going outside of eBay's checkout process or requests contact information prior to making a payment, that is often an indication of a scam.
If the buyer has committed to the transaction but does not actually pay, after four days the seller can cancel citing nonpayment to give the buyer a nonpayment strike.
