Dollars to doughnuts.. he'll loose the 500..

If they paypal and do local pick up, mail them something, anything, a copy of the auction, with tracking.

You have just preformed a CYA on the "I didn't get it" claim. paypal does not care what you sent them. you sent them something.

I've been thinking the same way. Just basically get something trackable and send it out.  Been toting with the idea that says in the auction, I will send out a letter with furthur instructions on how to pickup an item.

Rules
  Thanks for checking back with your buddy , I kind of thought that would be the outcome as You can read stories like that every day on the Fee Bay and Not Your Pal Forums .
  ( That is if You see it before a Live World Moderator sees it )   ;D
                                      AT FEE BAY THE SCAMMERS RULE
Ps
  Over $ 250 has to have an ON LINE VIEWABLE Signed Receipt from the PO  , do You think the scammer that got Your buddy would of fallen for that ?                                                                                                                      He Knew what He was Doing Every Step of The Way

Then they nail you with an "Item significantly not as described" claim, send your letter back, & PayPal gives them back the money.
