Don't. There are no circumstances on eBay in which a buyer needs to ask for the seller's paypal details.

 

Tricking sellers into disclosing them is a prelude to at least one, well known criminal scam. Especiallly for high priced designer items! Or they may suggest making an off-eBay deal to evade eBay's fees, which could get both your accounts restricted.

 

EBay purchases should always be paid through eBay checkout, unless for example collecting in person and paying cash.

 

Novice sellers selling high priced items are regularly targeted for scams. If you wish to tell us more about the background someone here may be able to give fuurther advice.

 

p.s. offering to send a £400+ item by the ordinary 1st class post does rather mark you out as naive. You need to use Royal Mail special delivery.
