Accounts get hacked quite often, there will be things in the auction (or contacts outside the auction) saying "Email me at this address, don't use the 'contact seller now' option." That's because the ebay account has been hacked, but the email account of the seller has not. Tip to everyone buying on ebay, IF THE ITEM IS ON EBAY, BUY IT THROUGH EBAY. Anything any seller tries to tell you for a reason to buy outside of ebay shows an absolute scam without question.
