Sorry this happened to you. Worst case scenerio...if Paypal wants authenticity verified, you can use my poupette... but depending on the credit card you used, you can simply file a charge back. I had a similar situation and was immediately credited (subject to change depending on the outcome of course). once you do the charge back, Paypal has to refund and go after the seller for the money. Good luck!!!
OH YAH and one more thing. If you go through Paypal and they credit you, they will only credit what is in the sellers account...they will ask the seller for money to satisfy it and freeze their account, but they cannot go into their credit card or bank account and satisfy it. so if you go that route and that happens, then again your credit card company is the place to go... Once the charge back is filed, Paypal has to cover the amount... Hope that helps...
