All set.
Last night: The seller has to accept or decline! It's *unpossible* for us to refund you. You should do a CC chargeback. It won't hurt your account.
Today: Sure, no problem please log out of your Paypal account for a few minutes while I take care of it. Logged back in, refunded in full.
I did learn a few new things from this one though. Paypal can somehow block me from pursuing an item not received dispute on eBay even though the delivery deadline was days ago. When a seller does not accept or decline a payment, Paypal will still take the money from my credit and keep it safe in their own piggy bank. And even though, I seem to be the only one here to have gotten that text, I still think that was part of the scam. Nothing about it made sense...
