Perhaps i am misreading something but it seems that PayPal is still trying to work with him on the whole situation. He claimed "paypal has instructed me to send the item that you purchased." and other such things. This would insinuate one of two things.
One he is working with PayPal to try and clear things up so he can regain control of his account. The only way he could do this is by proving to them he has shipped your items. The only way to do this is with a tracking number which says an item is being send to your payment address.
Two he is unable to access his PayPal account and therefore cannot access your shipping addresses. And he genuinely wants to ship everyone out their stuff.
Why this is all BS:
1) IF he is working with PayPal and has access to his account then he has your shipping addresses and no reason for him to be asking you them. You can EASILY see the PayPal transactions from the past three months in your "account activity". [I just Checked]
2) Even if he cannot access his PayPal he still has an email with your shipping address in it (PayPal always sends one of these to the seller once a payment is made).
I am trying not to speculate but it VERY MUCH appears as if he is trying to cover himself by getting documentation to clear his name. An email of you saying "no i don't want this gauge" a tracking number that the item was sent etc. IMO evidence against him was overwhelming and now he is going to try and get documentation, in his favor, in case he gets prosecuted.
If he is really trying to do right he would have given an explanation publicly, he would not have deleted many of his posts on here AND he would have the time to take a picture of your items. Period.
I am not saying how to proceed, i am highly recommending you contact someone more knowledgeable then i (Sgt. Harlowe) before opening a dialog with TDC.
