Does this sound like an ebay scam?

I just listed my Nikon d90 for sale on ebay, and it sold within an hour. The woman who purchased it sent me a message asking for my paypal email address, or for me to request the money from her account. I searched her name and address on white pages, and all of the information matches up. Would a scammer go that far? To find a random woman and use her information? I want to believe it's real, but that fact that she hasn't just paid through ebay worries me.
Added (1). I did send her an invoice for the purchase after the message. She mentioned she wanted my email "to make it easy on her".So maybe she just doesn't know how to use ebay yet?
