If I understand correctly, eBay doesn't "allow" it. The scammer is hoping they'll get a few people to contact them outside eBay. Then, they'll attempt their scam. When that happens, the scammer likely won't care if eBay takes notice. They've lured their mark away from eBay and they'll request payment that doesn't flow through the eBay platform.
