you are not guaranteed your money back just because you bought it through paypal. i know many people that got ****ed over through ebay and through paypal. getting his ebay account name isnt gonna stop anything on this site, because not EVERY person has an account. Of course they cant guarantee you a full refund, because nothing is guaranteed. Buying off forums is a risky business, and all you can really do to prevent being scammed is by being careful and do some research on the seller. (i.e. vouches, or check the SCAMMERS list on the buyer/seller feedback forum. that's what its there for. other than that, all you can do is hope for the best. NOTHING is ever guaranteed. remember that.
