I wouldn't use paypal for that purpose. They only protect you if the item was sold on Ebay by a seller (with good feedback) whose transactions they guaranteed. Buying it outside of Ebay, you're on your own and stand a better chance of getting a positive outcome directly from your credit card company without getting Paypal in the middle.
