Default New to selling on ebay, might be being scammed, advice?

Hi guys, long time lurker. Just started selling some things on ebay and i'm a bit concerned about one of the items and was hoping someone with a bit more ebay experience could help?

So i'm selling an item worth $300 (buy it now) someone just bought it and requested item postage charge, on their address they list their street, suburb state etc but not the actual house number so i sent them a message to get their exact address. This is what i got in reply (i've editted out their email address from the middle).

Also their last feedback from this month just says "scammer".

Hello Seller,
i wish to make payment for the ebay item ASAP.Kindly provide me with your bank details so as to enable me make the transfer of funds into your account ASAP.Here are the details requested;Acct Name- Acct No- BSB Code- Email Address.I will also like to inform you that i wont be able to pay for for the ebay item via paypal,as a result to some problems with my paypal account.i will only be able to pay for the item via bank transfer.My EMAIL; <<EMAIL EDITTED OUT>>, Thanks.
NOTE I AM BUYING THE ITEM FOR MY SON'S ABROAD AND NOT FOR ME,AND I AM ALREADY ADDING AUD $150 FOR THE SHIPMENT COST BY AUSPOST AIR MAIL PARCEL-AIR TO MY SON'S RESIDENCE..




Does this sound right? Any help appreciated i'm a complete ebay noob and don't wanna get scammed on my first sale :P
