Paypal will take the money from him, and leave it in a holding account where neither of you can touch it until the dispute is closed. They will take the FULL amount from him, leaving you nothing more than the cost of return post for the goods (you will need to provide evidence of this, so a tracking number is essential, and he will need to confirm receipt of the good back - if he doesn't do this in a certain amount of time, they will just check through the tracking number - he really will have nowhere to hide on this one). Then when it's all done and dusted and the money's rightfully back with you, you can leave him some choice words in his feedback that will hopefully warn off any future buyers!
His offers of good will are utter shite, :roll: :roll:

Don't get into any more debate with him - it's going nowhere.
Start your dispute, the funds should get frozen by paypal, use your pictures and the description (and omissions) from the auction page.
I would have thought you'll almost certainly get all the money you paid, including the costs to send to you.
I'm not sure how the return costs get sorted - although I fully believe you're entitled to those as well.
Make sure you return it by a trackable means.
Make all your dealings with the seller through the dispute, now.
edit: just point out it's fire damaged - it's irrelevant whether the burning car was in the same room, merely that it was in proximity.
That there's no mention of it being fire damaged in the auction (to the degree that it's entirely likely that the photos were taken at such an angle as to obscure this).
That such heat will have had a damaging effect on it, beyond the cosmetics (which is the key thing that I think the seller is either ignorant of, or deciding to ignore).
And that this damage is materially different from the description of the condition of it in the auction.
Only do that through the dispute console, and support it with any photographic evidence you can - just makes your case even stronger.

Yeah, but why bother? It's an inconvenience, nothing more.
You are going to be fine.
some people tend to think that distance=safety
The only time i've not been able to contemplate travelling to see some little urchin, was this one time that a woman in France stole all my camera gear that I sold her. Told Paypal/Ebay it was knackered and sent me back a box of broken bits. She kept the cameras and equipment, sold them on for a profit and got her original pay-out back from paypal too.
I went absolutely ballistic at paypal for months, and then in the end, I just took a step back and realised I'd been financially raped from all angles and nothing I could do about it.
I've not had a single good transaction from a French ebayer (and I've had quite a few) so I 100% don't deal with them now, it's the safest way, for me....
