You can call them via telephone, and you'll find that they can be very helpful. If you are covered it doesn't matter if he has no funds in his account. Paypal will pay you if he doesn't provide a valid tracking number etc.

I have been in contact with paypal twice by telephone. They told me that because it is not through Ebay I will be covered by a "best effort basis" whatever that means?????

I could be wrong then. I thought they'd pay up if the seller was verified regardless of them not having funds in their account. Can anyone confirm this?

If you paid via paypal using your credit card you may be covered....

He has done me as well the Robbing Bard, I put in a complaint to paypal first thing, but all they will do is contact him to try and sort it out and then wait 30 days for a result, if he does nothing they try to get your money from his account, but if its empty you have had it,
I know he has bought leos from some on here so hopefully someone can come up with a valid address for him if they have delivered them to him.

I think the protection part your thinking about is if you buy something through ebay! and not independantly.

Looks like that £25 has gone to good cause! Lets hope it all gets sorted out, or a valid address. Bag of leo shite might be on its way to him!
