always go through paypal. my brother got screwed around with a guy who sent him broken projector headlights for his GP, then he sent them back and he sent him the same headlights with NO HIDs, and the time was running out to get his money back. so he "escalated" the case and complained to ebay/paypal and then they take that guy down and after a few cases they wont be aloud to sell on ebay anymore.
