I am pretty new to ebay and had an item sold. The buyer has contacted me via personal email and asked for my paypal info. I informed them all transactions are handled through ebay. They are listed as a new user, having formed their account the day they won the bid. Also asked for info from two different email sites and addresses. Am I being scammed?

Yes, that is the start of a scam attempt. Just stop responding and they will go away.
The buyer gets 4 days to pay. On day 5, select cancel transaction, then select buyer has not paid. This puts an unpaid cancellation on the buyer's account. You can block buyers with 2 or more unpaid cancellations.
