My experience with challenging a PayPal payment from the buyer's perspective (was sent broken merchandise and the seller promised but refused to make good on refund) is that if the seller's account is empty, PayPal will not do anything.
Nevertheless PayPal has a long memory if it judges that an account-holder owes someone a refund. If more funds ever come into the account of such a seller, the money will be allocated to any buyers who still have claims against the seller. The only way for a seller to avoid this is to abandon use of the PayPal account entirely.
