I thought that paypal provides security for both - buyer and seller!?!
If your dealer tells you that no money of yours has reached his account then I guess your money is lost on its way. But it is IMHO the liability of the paypal banking system to follow the path your money went, isn't it? You lost money - anyone got it! Try to go the way of justice then maybe the system will come in motion.
