If you don't report him, he'll definitely continue his "business" of scamming people.

Kinda offtopic but let me share my "paypal "protection"" experience with you. A year ago I bought a camcoder battery from a "respected chinese site" (it was big one indeed). There was nice little "paypal" on it and I knew it "protects". I got charger instead of a battery AND a charger and "respected chinese site" was kind enough to offer me a deal of sending "another" battery but only if I order something else.
Paypal protection was kind enough to tell me that, well, "they cannot verify quality of the goods". Essentially if seller can show delivery receipt to them, it means you got what you've ordered, even if you got TV frame instead of a TV. Also note that "complaint" mechanism is made so that you have to "wait for X weeks" before doing something (in an obvious hope that you actually forget about it), and then you have a short period to react, if you don't, case is automatically closed. They are slightly more "protective" in case of ebay, but still far from one would expect. (I got a problem with essential "never to buy" Y-cable for avm router missing and paypal/ebay was again of no help)
Basically good reputation of the seller is your only protection. Oh, and the amazon, it's is very good with "customer is right unless proved otherwise" approach.
