I've received a message regarding an item I am selling for £2,500 - they have offered to pay the asking price plus a postage fee (although I stated shipping was free).
The buyer wants me to send a payment request through PayPal to enable them to pay but I have explained this can be done by clicking "buy".
The buyer has 100% positive feedback (over 400 reviews) as a buyer and seller. They have had their account since 2003.
Why would the buyer want me to do this? Could I be being played here?
Please help!!

You are correct to insist if they want to buy , then they go through the correct procedure, and proceed through the Paypal prompts after pressing the Buy it Now.
Personally, I would block them, from buying, it's too exopensive an item to lose, or to fight later for any case that might be opened.
Account tab >> Site Preferences >> Buyer Requirements >> Block Buyers who .....
