  Ok here's the problem. You can't pay through e-bay as it only acts as a middle person. So you can either paypal, send personal check, bank transfer or meet up with the person and then pay him/her.

  First question, anyone know what's the likely problem?
  
  Second question, seller tell me can pay through paypal to him instead. Any problems with that or all payments must be through e-bay?
  
  Paiseh, seldom use e-bay so don't know..
  
  thanks!

  continue button should be for checking out purpose, not really impt.
  
  the seller will send an invoice to u or u can ask him to send u a paypal invoice. Ebay highly recommended Paypal. there is not payment throu' ebay yet.

  It's all up to the seller, if he/she decides to play a fool in other words take the cash and run then you have a problem. So there is no guarantee for e-bay transaction. Maybe you can check out the sellers reputation so to see if he/she is a scammer.

  If you pay through paypal you get Paypal Buyer Protection. And you cannot pay through eBay. There's no such thing as paying through eBay. eBay only list the item, payment is between you and the seller. So is shipping and everything else.
  
  Beware of scam though. Make sure the seller is reputed.

  Ok according to the invoice I received from him, e-bay arranges payment through paypal. But I can't follow through from that invoice. So, if I pay through paypal, e-bay will recognise my payment?
  
  I mean I don't wanna appear like I didn't pay on e-bay when I paid in private. Sorry ah, a bit blur with e-bay..
