If you receive payment via Paypal and transfer the funds straight into your bank account then he can't get the cash back.
Remember that Paypal allows people to use credit cards when purchasing privately so it could be genuine.

If the money that you recieve from Paypal was from a stolen credit card then they will keep chasing you for the funds and tell you that you have commited fraud. Tell em to prove it in the British courts, havent heard from them since!
