Then you are simply lucky, many have. It's the up there as one of the most frequent ebay/paypal frauds. The QR codes system has been introduced to reduce that fraud.

Paypal does not pass buyer information for ebay transactions. Even via ebay whatever makes you think that address needs be correct? Some items are collected by people living 50-100+ miles away. That's not exactly local. You would be in breach of the law if you used that suggested method of recourse, so you would put yourself and your friends at risk.
