Sorry to hear of your problem. I had one similar problem, I received the item damaged, not in as stated condition. Paypal was of no help whatsoever. AudiogoN helped a little, but thank goodness I used a credit card on that purchase. The credit card bank saved the day. They took the charge off of my card and had me send the defective unit (which the seller refused to take back) to Paypal. That left me and the CC bank out of the loop. The problem was then between Paypal and the seller.
If I had not used a CC, I would have been screwed out of some big $$$.
It's a jungle out there, and one does need to walk carefully. I will now only use cash on large purchases that do not require shipping. I'll drive 100 miles or more to go check out/pick up. If it's big money and further away, I use a credit card. It's your only protection.
