Ebay scam?

yes - that's the scam

They pay by PayPal and ask you to send it to a different address.  Then then say that it didn't arrive, and regardless of whether you have tracking and can prove that it was signed for, PayPal gives them the money back (which they take from your bank account) because their Ts & Cs only offer the seller protection if you send it to the address registered on PayPal

Don't do it. 

I was caught out this way but I was returning an item. My son bought something from a company abroad. It needed returning and they gave me the address of their UK warehouse so the postage fees were less. It was tracked, it arrived and was signed for, and then they denied it ever arrived. PayPal wouldn't refund me as it wasn't the address registered with them. Lost the item, my payment and the postage cost.
