If anyone wants to contact outside eBay's and PayPal's jurisdiction that should raise red flags.
A few simple rules.
1) Check feedback of buyer/seller (I generally do not buy from buyers who have less than a 99.9% rating but do make exceptions depending on how many feedbacks they have compared with the percentage).
2) Any buyer/seller that want to contact through other communication channels ignore them and report them directly to eBay!
Also stay away from Gumtree. I used to sell and buy off there a while ago but now do not as it is so unreliable and contain many scammers!
