Was the offer suspiciously high? There is a scam doing the rounds at the moment that starts just like this. Always 0 or near 0 feedback account. Buyer makes a strange offer (I had one for the full amount). They then don't pay and attempt to have you contact them/send details outside of eBay. They don't do this through the eBay messaging, but through an invoice request (to which you can attach a message). It's quite obviously a scam as soon as they haven't paid within a day or two, but like you suggest, a big waste of time. I would wait to hear something from them before accepting.
