    Do you have a tracking number? That is all Paypal cares about.

    Do the same thing to him. Contact Valve (or whoever owns the Steam system now) and tell them your accounts were compromised by a hacker. Give them the serial numbers/keys/whatever and they will deactive the accounts and give you new keys to use.

    Can't do much about getting the money unfortunately, paypal has a horrible tendancy to side with the buyer about 99% of the time regardless of the situation.

    And for future reference, don't trade with somebody that only has 1 post.

    Paypal has its flaws unfortunately. You can't protect against all dishonest people out there.
