Re: paypal question
Paypal gives the other person between 7-10 days to respond to your dispute, haven't had a dispute in a while so I don't remember the exact time frame, but you have to file the dispute within 45 days. They can refund you, they can give their side, or they can just not respond at all. No matter what you have to wait the 7-10 days before Paypal will do anything and if the other person responds with their side it will take even longer to get your money back but they usually side with the buyer, if it's an Ebay purchase.

Correct, if Paypal decides in your favor they will either pay your directly and bill the seller or if the seller has money in their account Paypal will just debit it from them and give it to you.
