Just remember this: Always pay for PayPal transactions with your credit card. this way if you get same response that you received from paypal, you can file a charge back on your credit card. Credit card companies have strict rules about fraud and they will most likely find in your favor and will issue a charge back against PayPal. this way PayPal will be stuck with non paying user and you will get your money back. PayPal is a horrible company when it comes to user protection. they just don't care, as long as they get their fees they don't care about anything else.

Thanks for the info, Alex. But I do not have PP account, all payments were made by my german friend because PayPal doesn't operate with my country, so I do not know how he sent the payment, using CC or account money. Now I'm considering to protect myself: send money by parts (50% pre-pay, 50% after I get the tracking number), or ask for a photo of reader with a sticker, on which seller will have to write given word or phrase, for example, my username. At least I will know that the seller actualle has the reader...
Happy New Year ALL!
