My thoughts exactly. And the fact that the seller doesn't mind if he sends in USD sets off an alarm to me. Why would anyone want American currency with the current exchange rates?
I'd say you should demand that payment be done your way, so that there's some insurance that this isn't a scam. Tell the seller that it's this way or the highway, and if this really isn't a scam, it wouldn't be a big deal.

If this is the first time selling something on ebay, what kind of problems could she have had with paypal? buyers dont pay the fees, sellers do.

This is a scam.
The horrible english, the insistence on receiving payment before shipping, the fact that overseas shipping does not happen in 24 hours unless you pay a shitload of money, and the fact she has no feedback are just some of the things setting off alarms for me.

What you are looking for isnt that hard to come by. Whenever you see a deal for these things, make sure you take a bit of time as you did w/ this and step away and look at the deal..
on the other hand, dont think too long or you will miss it.
I found my used cdj from a music store, so it wasnt that hard to make sure it was legit... but i still gave it time.
