I hate Ebay but even more I would never use or accept Paypal, they do side with the buyer everytime....
I have sold items were the buyer scammed me by returning the package back with a brick inside and complaining to Paypal....

I only do business one way now...

1. POSTAL MONEY ORDER
2. Western Union Money Transfer (which you can get cash at any Publix)

and thats it..... its the only peace of mind that gets me through the sale... and of course not sending anything until payment is in hand.. that way if you have some jerk like this guy, you will have the upper hand and be able to negotiate fixing his or her issue...
In all fairness the transaction should be easy for the seller as much as for the buyer.... and I know saying all of this now doesent help your cause much, but i guess the moral of the story is stay away from using paypal period...
