Actually, it's
very easy to get ripped off using PayPal, the catch is they can only do it once per account. This guy is obviously just trying to get a nice score in the M:tG market.
There have been a lot of these lately for different things on eBay, because apparently there's some sort of loophole concerning the amount, or location of the individual who made the account, that let's them get away with taking your money, moving it around to another account, and just hitting the road with the cash. I won't pretend to know all the details, but rumor has it that PayPal is getting looted.
I have gotten ripped off three times myself, when I finally decided to shut down my PayPal account, because all three times I heard the same excuse, "Well Sir, they have moved the funds and no longer have enough in the PayPal account to cover the cost of the payment, so we cannot refund you any money." Yea, if you can believe that, they actually had the nerv to tell me that. Like the guy who ripped me off was just going to leave the money in thier forever... A little know fact is that less then 20% of the people who file complaints with PayPal about getting money back ever receive anything in return.
You're giving PayPal access to your bank account, and they
will get the money yanked out. I had to get a new checking account, because they were literally disquising the name they were pulling the money from my account with, and used several different routing numbers as sources, because one-by-one I was having my bank retreive the funds and block that routing number. I don't know if they would have ever stopped, but naturally setting up a new bank account and closing my old one did the trick.
