Just after filed a claim, almost at the same time he refunded the money and refused to do further contact about that domain. I think that's the best for both of us.
I have paid mid xx via paypal on a domain I am interested. This transaction is not at sedo, afternic or NP, I just visited the domain I am interested and found this domain was for sale by the owner, so I contacted him and reached a price and I paid. Now this is the 4th day since I successfully paid. However, he mentioned in his last e-mail 3 days ago that:
Isn't that weird? We all know that paypal account needn't to be verified before receive a payment and he can easily pay the money to his verified account to transfer the fund to his bank account.
What should I do, NPers? I know this domain is at godaddy, and his WHOIS info is using a PO box, so what you could recommend me do? I e-mailed him today that I would give him last 24 hrs before I file a claim to Paypal if the problem is not solved.
Thank you for your help.

He replied my email and said he's doing verification of bank account like getting routing number and verification of a token deposit. I found his whois address is at Rhode Island, I don't know if that would be the issue. Because I'm in the States and I don't have a problem to receive payment as soon as I register at paypal without verification and I can simply make payment to my verified account easily.
Anyway, I will update the info so everybody can learn something from this transaction. Even if this is just a fuss.

His new email, this man is so unreasonable, I think I am gonna file a claim tomorrow, I just don't want to lose the name. BTW, I have already paid and he still said this:

I just learned I have a paypal account under the e-mail address
[email protected] that is set up and verified. There is a lot of work and wait to get the account [email protected] set up and verified.
I am leaving zz in less than an hour, and won't be back until monday.
I'll check my mail just before I leave.

[email protected]. This one you can use if you want.
I haven't used paypal since my first and only time months ago.
I didn't even know the e-mail address determines the account.
I do know paypal does not help the buyer if the seller of a domain name
takes the money and gives no name. They exclude domain names.
They tell you to file a complaint with an agency, that has no enforcement.
Check it out.
