I want to purchase an item that paypal doesn't like through Ioffer.
My seller informs me that it's ok to use paypal, but only if I give him my paypal e-mail so that we can do the transaction through a payment request route.
I'm skeptical of this and am afraid that it might be a scam. I inform him of my concerns and asked him if I could just purchase it normally through Ioffer.
He says that if I do that, his paypal account would be banned because of the nature of the item purchased.
My questions are:
1) Is he trying to scam me out of my money?
2) If I do give him my money through a payment request, will my money be protected if I don't receive my goods?
Thanks for your time and patience.

Like other folx have stated, do your due diligence - check his feedback...reputable sellers keep good customer feedback. I have asked for this kind of payment before and provided my business phone number to promote even more faith by the buyer.
