Thanks for the offer cvince, but I don't think pursuing this further will result in anything useful happening, unless another user has more information on "Pat". I just got of the phone to Visa, and they are crediting me back the payment I sent. I hope everyone else paid on a credit card and is able to recover their funds.
This is a good reminder that you should always ask for information from the seller: photos of the item and an address and phone number where you can reach them. Note that monkeymadness asked for a phone number and was able to avoid being scammed.

As far as I can tell, this is completely resolved for me. My bank was happy to do the chargeback, and a couple of days later I got an e-mail from PayPal inviting me to cancel it if it was in error (yeah right). I had an open chargeback dispute (which is handled the same way as other PayPal disputes) for a few weeks, and they eventually decided in my favour (didn't contest the chargeback with Visa) after being unable to contact "Pat". I haven't had any grief from PayPal about the money they lost because of it, but I'm still keeping an eye on my balance. I believe my bank said it could take up to 60 days to be fully resolved, which means I am in the clear now.
I'm curious to know how other people fared with recovering their money. This is why you should ALWAYS pay with a credit card online -- PayPal's buyer protection is a joke.
