Heard back from eBay. They're trying to verify whether this is a real person. If they can't, they'll refund my fees. So that's cool.
Meanwhile, they've offered to give me his address and phone number so that I can contact him offline if I wish - noting that they will be required to give him my number in return. Oh, yeah, that's practicing good online safety - give your contact information to someone who's already gone to some effort to screw you. It's a good idea!
