Sounds like you sent with paypal *Goods* so hopefully you see the cash back or if the box actually turns up but 2 weeks is a bit long.
Remember TNT will have issued a tracking number so try get that if it actually exists
Good Luck

you should open a claims dispute with paypal.
You should also be able to get his address off paypal :]

the amount of money (if its cheap) isnt important, its the god damned principle!
