Thanks Kernowlass, I had figured I would need to do a charge back through my bank since Paypal are complicit to sit by and do nothing about this widely known issue. Their issue resolution process is woefully lacking and it seems almost impossible to contact anyone at Paypal for any kind of advice or support for their system. So pretty much the solution whenever this happens - don't bother asking Paypal for help or trying to deal with the other party, just go straight for the charge back and don't waste your own precious time.
