It makes it more difficult that eBay OWNS PayPal as well!
A lot of other members have mentioned the point, "why would eBay want to shut down these scammers selling hacked players when every sale is making money for eBay?". Also, it makes money for PayPal as well.
It seems there is very little buyers protection. I mean, if you complain (and a lot of other members have) about the seller possibly selling hacked players, a lot of the time, it goes un-noticed or ignored by eBay and PayPal.
But as you haven't paid the seller yet, you're in a better situation in that you haven't lost any money yet.
Try asking PayPal and eBay and see what happens. Keep us updated and GOOD LUCK
