Important question...is your claim still open or did Paypal close it?
The claim was closed as a result. They, Paypal, assured me that they will continue to monitor the sellers account and will issue the refund "if" funds become available.
As you mentioned earlier, I viewed the box that was in the listing and it showed Paypal Buyer Protection for the amount of $315.00 (Canadien).
I am well within the limits for this transaction as I am out $230.00 and should be covered...right?
Thanks for the input member_8880 I really appreciate it.
