Has anyone run into this problem before? I won an eBay auction, but for the last few days, every time I attempt to pay, I get this message:

This recipient is currently unable to receive money.
Your purchase couldn't be completed
There's a problem with the merchant's PayPal account. Please try again later.

I sent the guy a message, but I haven't received a response. What else can I do at this point? I still want the item, and I don't want to get into any trouble with eBay for not paying. PayPal is the only payment option listed, and that's the only method I want to use anyway.
