I deal with Paypal all the time, they cover the buyer pretty well and more so when payment is done with credit card. Reason being they KNOW the card company will file a claim/investigation on your behalf and Paypal tries to avoid that. Good luck, they give the seller about 10 days to reply with tracking.
