Warning about what?

Using direct paypal, they were reading mine and the sellers ebay message exchanges.

You mean as in, paying for the item directly and ending the listing without bidding?

I think they generally do not tap people's messages but the person who you bought from is probably a repeated offender who has been tipped off.

In my case i was the seller.

They would have key words/email addresses being scanned for in messages

I agree. You have to be more discreet in the way you write sentences if it includes the words paypal and email addresses.
