You ~might~ want to contact PayPal and ~initiate~ the proceedings now.

WHY? Because PayPal should lock his PayPal account, and prevent him from dumping your payment from the account (or even using it to buy something else) If you wait ~too~ long (as I did) he has time to transfer funds out of the account (or just buy something else) and leave the account empty, and if he cancels credit-card/bank access too, PayPal has NO way to retrieve your money. That was how the guy in the UK burned me... I gave him too much time to 'dump' the account.

You can always cancel the inquiry when the seller's shipped the item, and you've received it, to your satisfaction. Once he's dumped the account, you're up the creek.
