I understand your frustration, but I would suggest you involve paypal in this, like I mentioned earlier, if they have send £XXXX into paypal, you could be seen to be part of this scam.
Just because there is no buy it now, doesn't mean someone can't send money into your paypal account, all they need is your email address and access to funds. They could have hacked into someone's paypal and sent the money from there.
Just as an example, if they deposited £10000 into your paypal, and you have been charged £1000 in paypal fees, if the transaction is fraudulent, and paypal get a chargeback against the other person, they will then take £10000 back out of your paypal, meaning there will be --£1000 in your paypal, which would be taken from your linked bank account/credit card, making you £1000 out of pocket.
Best way to check paypal would be to open a new instance of your web browser and goto www.paypal.co.uk don't use the link from the email that you said you received saying that the money had been transferred.
