I'd tell them to go through checkout. It DOES affect your seller protection (eg in the case of a chargeback down the line) if the sale doesn't go through eBay. And AFAIK Paypal won't process an eBay sale outside of eBay anymore.

 

 

Last year, PayPal extended Seller Protection to all eligible transactions, on and off ebay. Ages ago, there used to be a "Pay for eBay items" function in PayPal, but that was removed so you can't directly link an independed payment via PayPal to an eBay item, but it doesn't affect buyer/seller protection as long as the invoice clearly shows the payment is for eligible goods that are being posted.

 

Goods eligible for buyer/seller protection are the same on and off eBay.
