So true. I guess I was thinking about a legit business. Still hope it works out for OP. I have had bad transactions on Ebay and Paypal would not refund my money so I don't why people put so much trust in them. Never mind going outside of Ebay, which they explicitly warn against.
Sorry guys I was outta town for the past two days unfortunately the seller was not able to get any more. She told me she would try again next week but their cutting down stock, and its becoming hard to get so she is refunding the money. It hasn't been refunded just yet but I was told in the next day or so. And she's gonna let me know when she gets them first next time and then I'll pay for it lol. Thanks for the wishes and support though but it looks like it was all legit and I should be getting my refund any moment I'll post when I 100% have it back.

I am guessing you have received the item, and all is well?

Just make sure you get refunded soon and don't wait to long until it is past the date to open a case with paypal. Many sellers scam people by making up excuses over and over until they have wasted so much time that you can no longer open a case because it past the alotted time. Good luck!
Unbelievable. Link?
It ended too long ago, the item's closed. I type in "retina macbook pro 16gb" and just watch. There are some great deals every so often
Scam
Same situation here. I don't think she's gonna refund us soon, we have to take actions.
UPDATE: seller has issued a refund

I think Mavericks will be free because they didn't announces the price in WWDC. If you have watched the keynote last year, they announced the price along with the DP
So my guess is it will be a free upgrade but it doesn't really matter I guess because it's not very expensive especially compared to Microsoft!

That's so true! You really shouldn't wait too long, or things could get way worse.
Did you bother to read the parts that I highlighted, at all? Let me post this again. hint, read what I bolded. If it violates eBay's policies, doing transactions outside of eBay, purchase protection does not apply to you.
This means ANY policies that are violated on eBay or Paypal is an item that will NOT be covered.
Sure sounds like some type of pyramid scheme... Finances inventory by selling computers that don't exist (yet). As long as they go around e-bay, no way to get bad feed back on sales that don't go thru.. When they get paid for legit sales, they use money to refund non-legit sales.
I think we're interpreting the policy in different ways.
The way I'm reading it is that that rule that you quoted is saying that you will not have protection if you buy something that cannot be legally sold, hence the "stuff that is usualy prohibited by law anayway" line.
For example, how is him buying the computer by finding it on eBay and then paying just through Paypal (not going through eBay) any different than if he were to find another seller on say this forums classifieds and paying through Paypal. Either way, Paypal wouldn't be able to tell where he found the item and he'd have the same protection from Paypal in both cases.
The other rule that you quote was eBay's policies, saying that if you go around ebay you won't have buyer protection (from eBay) and that makes 100% sense. But, just because he found the item on ebay and went through paypal, doesn't negate that Paypal still has buyer protection, which may not be as good as eBay's like I said before, but it is still there.
