I sold a listed as broken digital camera to a oversea buyer last week. I sent it off all ok. He's just sent me a message through ebay asking for my personal email address. Is this a scam? He's got 100% feedback

No need for him to have your personal email address. He can contact you through ebay.

Ignore him. Thats why ebay has aliases. You will receive any and all email through the site.

can you not set up a new hotmail/googlemail account and give him that? takes about 30 seconds to do!
