Why didn't you use escrow... especially with another new member? Even though it's paypal, there is no reason to refuse escrow. Payment can be reversed either way.
What's escrow going to do in this situation? You obviously don't understand how paypal works, or you haven't read the sticky title.
Escrow would prevent the buyer from getting scammed. Now he has to wait for the paypal dispute or cc charge back and risk his account getting closed. If the seller of BTC is going to accept paypal knowing the risk, why not use escrow to protect the buyer?
