You have his address yes? Is it the same the guy had on the paypal acct, and what the "stolen from" guy has? You have to get your paypal acct verified, so the "thief" stole this guys info, stole his bank passwords and ebay acct on a 2yr conspiracy to steal a buggy from you? This sounds like complete BS.

I would continue badgering paypal until you get someone who knows what they are talking about (as well as pursue other ave's) and hopefully they can help.

I have a completely seperate checking acct I leave barely no money in just for paypal, and I move any money out of paypal accts and the check acct as soon as possible. Its not perfect, but hopefully if they tried to steal/reverse something, there would be nothing to get. Ebay really sucks sometimes, and they wonder why they are losing revenue.
