Those are the only two valid comments/questions at this point. If they are asking for the paypal addy they should have already posted that they will take it in the first post.....................and of course if they are offering the usual lowball they should also post it. Either way, the "PM sent" reply is bogus and sneaky at that point.
I too however have posted a comment about the item or defended the OP's price, knowing full well it would get deleted and my motive is solely for the OP. I have even PM'd the OP to tell them to stick to their price and not even entertain all the lowballs. I really don't have a personal reason to say these things, its just that ethical/friendly behavior towards the seller seems to lack much of the time.
