Good point with potential removal of listing
Only worry I have about paying first is that what if the seller is a stolen account and the thief could have the time to transfer sleng's money to his own bank account while sleng wait for his parcel to arrive. Timing is very important. I guess at least Paypal covers any losses due to fraud.
Unfortunately it is very sensitive so Sleng really need to tread carefully.
Need your kind advice............

Get their pay pal account details first.
At least you can help the authorities with some identification. To be frank, I don't know how tom proceed from there. Think better await other purists with experience. By the way, do not discount the possibilities that those that are up for sale are alrea...
Try to get as much information about them as possible
As Horo suggested, pretend to be a potential buyer, and ask them lots of questions. Try to compile as much information about them as possible. Information that may be helpful should a certain authority decide to investigate your case may include: - where ...

yep, a difficult situation, but paypal and credit card should give all the protection required. G
I wouldnt rely on Paypal
Personally I wouldnt rely on Paypal to give you your money back, they will find any way possible not to give you your money back! (from a costly experience!) As everyone has said... I wouldnt report it to Ebay until you get as much information as you can ...
I agree that this is the best solution
It guarantees that you get the watches back in your hands. Pay by credit card through Paypal, and you will be protected.
