This situation is exactly why, long time trusted seller who it appears is not going to refund on a lost package. Always protect yourself.
Personally, PayPal rules shouldn't matter, the seller should do the right thing and refund.

Paypay G/S versus F/F transaction--the rest of the story.
Working with a dealer with transaction to purchase a Gehrig Goudy card, I was a little short on cash to acquire card.
Not excepting a check, or credit card I was politely asked if I had Paypal--Yes, no problem I replied.
F/F I was advised would save us both a little $$--again no problem I thought. Having to use my cell phone I had issues with hitting those little numbers/letters. A young computer savvy person was watching my dilemma volunteered to assist. He entered the request and sent $1,000. After all was sent, the money went to someone else whom I didn't know. The young person said sorry and went on his business..Have I been scammed ?
I called Paypal several times and was advised because the funds were transferred per F/F there was no recourse on their end since the funds were not transferred per G/S! When I tries to use Paypal again to purchase the card my account was blocked, no fault of the seller.
I had to leave the show Sunday to catch my flight so didn't have a chance to go back to make the deal. I thought to myself I'm lucky it wasn't more money lost.
When I arrived home I received an email asking why I sent $1,000 to him. I relied what happened. He promptly refunded the money.
Moral of the story, IMO there are more honest people out there than not.
