I decided against it. Paypal will only refund if they can "get from the seller", they have good protection for ebay sales but their protection for other sales looks very poor.

I could, I suppose, use the Visa protection but I dunno, just seems like I'd do my dough. The fact the guy wants to negotiate outside the site and has left the site makes me think it's a scam.

I've spent the money on motorcycle bits instead
