Scammer should be already known, however: this scammer will write you, after you sent him an email with your PayPal contact details, an email which looks like it is from PayPal, containing a "successfull transfer" of the money you have asked for your item. You can simply check this by login in your PayPal account, there will be no transferred money.

Don't fall for this, just don't answer his emails, withdraw his purchase and report him to ebay.
I took out the brackets so email address is easier for search engines to find. ~Bubbles
