Paying by debit sounds like it means a direct bank transfer. That's much less secure than either PayPal or direct credit card payment because there's no protection at all. Did the original auction listing show PayPal as an accepted form of payment? If so, he has to accept it, and without any conditions/stipulations. The fees are his responsibility, not the buyer's.
I suggest you contact eBay and explain the situation. They don't take this kind of thing lightly and may threaten to suspend his account if he doesn't cooperate. They also caution against any sort of dealings outside of their website(s) regardless of whether it's the buyer or seller who initiates it.
My guess is that this guy is not very internet-savvy and didn't realize that PayPal and eBay can both take a cut of the profits. Don't let him bully you into paying more than you should, or doing something you're not comfortable with.
