You are a police officer. Can't you do a bit of a "knock on the door" stuff? ;D
If I am not mistaken paypal has a 45 days policy for submitting claims. In fact this very fact that once robbed me off of my about $700.00
Some years back I had bought a lot of audio transformers from a guy in Canada on e-bay. He shipped the items which were all great and well packed and arrived on time. He had other lots and I asked him if he would sell them privately to save from e-bay fees. He said he could send them surface mail which would take about 6-8 weeks but be very cheap. I did not know the paypal rules on this and I paypalled him thinking that I was safe. Transformers never arrived.
Having said that I also bought transformers from a guy in Nashville and the seller ceased all communications shortly after. About six months later I was in LA and mentioned it to a friend, who subsequently sent him a very polite ( ;D ) e-mail. A week later the transformers arrived with the refund for the short fall.
Unfortunately every business is full of cowboys and the risk is always there. I can't tell you exactly how much I have been robbed off over the years, but if it is any consolation it is in many multiples of thousands of pounds. Do your best to get it back but if not then don't loose sleep over it.
