Buyer payment issue!! Help!!

So I sold a KindleFire on ebay. I don't have any problems working with people but this email I received from the buyer seems a little strange. I thought that if you paid with Paypal, that whatever you was paying by (credit card, bank acct., etc...), had to be registered with Paypal? Does the message I received below seem legit?? Thanks for any help.
Dear bsshog40,
Hello, I wanted to touch base with you on the kindle fire. I really want it, but I ran into a problem. My husband left for NIE and won't be back until next Friday or Saturday and he for some odd reason felt the need to take our debit card with him and I have no way to get ahold of him for the numbers and it's not the on file with my PayPal account! I would really appreciate it if you would be patient with me and I will pay for the item ASAP! I apologize for any inconvenience this may have you.

Hoard the keys.
I would move on...
since:
Husband took the ONLY DEBIT card.
They don't own a credit card...
Financial source (or at least most of them) with paypal should be ON FILE!

She sounds legit. Check her buyer feedback sounds like she's new to the game. Maybe she doesn't get paid until Friday and was too embarrassed to tell you she's broke.
I wouldn't sweat it, you've still got the merchandise. If she does end up using paypal make sure it says OK to ship on the PP details page. Sometimes transfer of buyer money takes a few days and occasionally doesn't make it, usually insufficient funds from the funding source.

Correct. You also can pay with funds already in your paypal account (from selling items). Paypal does require the CC or Bank account to confirm the person registering the paypal account.

Paypal.
Now, besides me, who in this day and age are off the grid for a week? No cell coverage? Hmmmmmm,
hunting in the woods. Off with his mistress?

Maybe he's in Costa Rica.

That will get a response that will most likely be true.
It lets buyers use it without an account but they need a card number.
If they do it that way you might have the "not verified address" thing show up on the payment. (used to be that way)
See the link, supposedly you can turn off the option that allows people to pay you that don't have an account:

Agree. I would wait a week and see what happens. In the grand scheme of things this is definitely not a big deal and you certainly shouldn't stress over it.

North Independent Estonia???
Her story sounds plausible to me and I would give her the benefit of the doubt.
