Default Ebay scam?

Had to relist my psp on ebay due to a non payer, got a few bids and a 0 feedback buyer won. I sent the request for money paypal bill to them and waited a day and then got shown a symbol of an egg timer on the payment part (payment pending)

So i decided to wait for another day and keep checkin paypal for clearence, still not clear and no funds from that person

I checked my ebay account last night and it's come up with the winning bidder no longer registered.

I've now had this email sent to me..

GET BACK TO ME ASAP‏

Hello Mate,
How are you doing there , i hope you are doing great today? please can you tell me what is going and why the postage of this item has not been done, please kindly get the item post out asap as i want the item to get to his destination before the birthday of my patner son please get back to me and let me know what is delaying the postage of the item .Thanks
Is it worth reporting them to ebay as a scam if they are no longer a registered user?

Did you get your money or it been cancelled on paypal or still pending?, sounds like he paid with a e-cheque which take 7-9 days to clear, sounds like he trying it on mate
