    Well thanks again everyone for all your kind and helpful words.:T

    I am glad :) to report that the seller emailed me a few minutes ago and thanked me for the payment. He also stated that he will post the camera out on Tuesday...

    looking forward to receiving it now..

    EDIT: Just thought, if you funded by credit card, then you'll have another level of cover. Always fund by CC if possible.

    I was told by Barclaycard that purchases made from eBay are not covered as they are "3rd party sales" (or something to that effect).
    I let my mind wander and it never came back!

    AFAIK, that's not strictly true, in that purchases made on eBay with a CC are covered (if they're over £100, as aerostar says). However, purchases on eBay using PP funded by a CC are, technically, not covered as you are not using the card directly to pay the seller (which is almost certainly what Barclaycard said).

    Apparently though many/most CC companies are willing to dispute with PayPal.
