I always put my phone number on auctions (got a phone specially for it).. That way you get pleanty of offers out side of ebay , then just end the listing if they buy it.. Stick it to the man! lol

i did similar to davey, advertised it sold it to someone who saw it on ebay, then once it went go and edit it the advert and add 'do not accept paypal' in big letters.
if they notice it they take it down and you dont pay

thing is,
how much would you have sold it for elsewhere?
if less then £133 after fees and paypal then you are still better off using ebay
