I do hope you didn't send a Paypal "gift" - because then you have no protection.
If the seller is unwilling to settle with you, then you can try a Paypal dispute. I'm afraid that making the deal outside of eBay probably won't help your case.
Private sales are ultimately "caveat emptor" - buyer beware. I'd never pick anything up outside someones house at 11pm - well dodgy - and if something runs well I'd like to see it running first if I am there in person.
Good luck.
