So I was going on ebay and stumbled upon something I would like to buy, got in contact with the seller and he asked me if I would like to purchase said item directly through paypal as it would be cheaper for him due to lower charges compared to ebay. If something were to happen and if I were to not receive the item, would I be covered by "buyer protection" and would I get my money back?

You would have no Ebay protection and Paypal could not use the Ebay ad as a description in a Paypal 'not as described' case.
As for Paypal protection then that would depend on........
1. How you paid ie Paypal option used.
2. How clear a description of the item you are paying for is on the 'payment method' when you paid.
Your best bet is to go and read up on Paypal buyer protection so you can risk assess your transaction (in Paypals user agreement).

Kudos / Solution appreciated.
