On 8/5/08 I put up a wanted ad for a 17" LCD monitor, as seen here

I got an offer for a 17" HP 1740 for $65 from Mikebrown. Here is his profile

and heat

I figured that this was pretty safe deal. He has 64-0-0 heat and has been registered for 2.7 years, with 1000 posts.
On 8/7/08 I sent the money and he requested that I PM him my address as well. That was the last time I heard from him.
On 8/12/08 I sent him a PM asking if he had received the money or sent it yet. He had logged on that day but never replied.
On 8/16/08 I sent a e-mail to his heatware address asking if he had sent it yet and I have received no replies to that.
The last time he logged on was 8/15/08.
It has been 10 days now since I sent the money, should I start to try to get it back through paypal or should I just wait longer?
I did notice that in his for sale thread, he said he was a "motivated seller" which leads me to believe that he needed the money for something important.
