Sounds like a scam.
No it isn't. In his bio section that he set up he normally accepts PayPal as a form of payment. But in this case he isn't willing to accept PayPal as mentioned in his comment section for this particular auction because 3% of what the watch will bring is too expensive.
I sell stuff all the time on Ebay and accept PayPal but if the item is over 1000.00 then I won't unless the person buying is willing to pay the 3% as a convenience to them. Learn to read disclaimers before you accuse someone of scamming.
