I have been reporting the same items, it seams like the "seller" hijacks ebay users identity, mostly users with 98 to 100% feedback, and then, in the description, says "do not bid, write me at this mail address, price for the item will be USD 2000. to 2500 " or something like that, its always very valuable items, like BL5s for usd 2500.00. Ebay do take them down, but do not seam able to plug this hole in their security., the blasted crook is also stupid, he always use the same opus moderandi and nearly the same text.

It looks like another one here:

It appears you were correct about the hijacking.  This listing doesn't seem to match the others that the seller has.

"but do not seam able to plug this hole in their security.,"

Oopss... I don't think You have to blame E-bay when for example a user has an "easy to use" password, and somebody steals it - Ebay can only act if somebody (like You - thanks for it!) tells them that this account is probably compromised.

As Paypal is not mandatory payment there is no way to deny the payment for a different Paypal address and it's not even a fraud, for example a private person intend to sell something, however the buyer needs an invoice, so the payment should be transferred to a company not to a private person.

Anyvay, if I know well, than Paypal protection is NOT Ebay protection, so if I'm right, then the Paypal guarantee is independent from Ebay - if You fill the form, as You purchased the items, and You add the Ebay number to the auction, than IMHO the Paypal guarantee is also valid, as Paypal payment and the Paypal protection is not only for Ebay, but for many other auction sites.

But it's my humble opinion about the case, the most important thing is to keep Your eyes open, and help to ban the thiefs from the auction sites.

I once bought a playstation 3 off ebay and was ripped off. I never received it. Ebay did refund me the full amount because they caught the woman who had scammed me and others as well. She called me "sweety" in all of our message exchanges.
