This may not help people currently, but going forward make sure anytime you make a purchase through PayPal use a credit card. They will recommend you don't since they don't want to pay the fees, but it might bite you in the *** down the road if you don't.

I once got scammed on eBay a while back and paid via PayPal along with my American Express. Same thing, empty promises to the point it was too late to open a dispute through PayPal because I fell outside the claim window. It was a reputable vendor at the time that I purchased from before without issue. I figured they weren't going to start scamming people, but apparently they had major financial issues and were digging a hole deeper and deeper. PayPal told me f*ck off as they couldn't do anything, but I went through American express who went after PayPal. Mind you this was over 6 months later. I ended up getting my money back within 2 days along with an apology.

Summary, this is deja vu.
