UPDATE:
Like Overlord said, my bank, HSBC has confirmed that I am able to open up a chargeback on this situation, I have explained to them the evidence that I have, along with the personal ties such as his facebook that I have found, including his address that was on his PP.
I will in fact receive my money and Overlord was correct, as he is from the UK it will be a £25 extra fee on his part in order to complete this, completely free of charge for me.
The scam section at HSBC opens at 9:00AM tomorrow, I will be opening a report, giving them his personal information, such as address, name, paypal info, and the whole situation, a very nice employee called Carla at HSBC has saved all the details I have currently given them ready for tomorrow morning.
I have also found that he is under 18, so his parents may be taking this one on, which is unfair on their part however I don't feel like giving up my hard earned money.
Nevertheless this will be sorted out one way or another, thank you so much to Overlord for giving me information on chargebacks through banks, this has not only opened up an opportunity for me to get my money back, but also teach him a lesson about stealing.
HSBC's scam section will also give his details over to his local authority (which I will not name here for obvious reasons), from there we will go!
The user has been PMd with even more information about this situation with the final opportunity to rectify himself, thank you for the support guys and it looks like this situation will be sorted after all!
