Sorry to hear about the hassle but it sounds like you came away fairly unscathed.
Always use a credit card for online purchases. ALWAYS. The fraud protection will step in and collect your funds if the seller or PayPal is unable to help.
I also will have the seller send me an invoice. It’s just too sketchy if I do not have the email saved in my account.
My precautions have heightened lately due to situations like yours. Even Chase bank quick pay can not return funds if you send to the wrong address.
