PayPal offers protection to neither the buyer or the seller when it comes to virtual items. If they did chargeback on you, they could only do it through one of two ways: 1. Make the purchase through a credit card on PayPal, they call their credit card company and have the charges reversed. If this happens, you're usually in a very bad place since PayPal will rarely fight a credit card company for you. 2. Claim the transaction was unauthorized. Yes, there are some people brazen enough to either steal a PayPal account from some unsuspecting shlub, and there are also people brazen enough to make FALSE claims that their account has been hacked into without their permission. If you have any doubts about the transaction I'd suggest you ask to speak with your buyer personally on the phone. Most online cons don't want you to know their phone number. 😉
