I know I'm taking a risk by stepping forward here, I'm the buyer in this case.

Actually, he didn't get ripped of.

I don't want a bad rating because Paypal is reviewing the transaction.
Information from Paypal regarding the transaction: "This payment has been selected for review and we have opened an investigation."

Reason: Inquiry by PayPal, Temporary Hold
Status: Awaiting other party's response

I also mailed djex back keeping me posted about the review, and if any problems occurs, we have to discuss a solution.

djex, if you need me to contact Paypal in any way, mail me back.
