Unfortunately you are screwed. The only thing you can do is open a dispute via Paypal and hope to get your money back, then leave neutral or negative feedback. This is the bottom line.
I recently went through something similar. I won a Nintendo Wii with a very fair shipping price and paid via Paypal. I was told the item was shipped and provided a tracking number. The tracking number never reflected movement of the item. I soon received an apology stating the item was "never meant for sale". Eventually I received a full refund from the seller via Paypal.
I was lucky to get the full refund as Paypal garunteed much less less than what was paid. The seller could have easily skipped on me.
This individual had a 100% feedback rating with 22 sales.
This is a fundamental problem when dealing with private parties. There is little to no legal recourse in the transaction.
Good luck to you Gina.
