do you have his address?
if paypal reverses the transaction, then go to civil court and get boxing gloves out
you are right, it is caveat emptor so even if paypal doesn't side with you, the courts will
(i'm also assuming you have pics of the drone before you sold it on)

Yep I do, it's only a cheap drone and I have my pictures of it also.
excellent. that should hopefully cover you from the likely scenarios
1) it wasn't working: buyer said it was
2) wasn't "as described" (aka crashed drone): your pictures vs his pictures
3) was working and then stopped working/crashed mid-air: private sale with no warranty implied
good luck!
Grow some and tell him do one

I looked up the buyer protection guarantees offered by Paypal a year or two ago. I was buying something from FB and seller said he'd accept Paypal.
As far as I am aware Paypal only offer buyer protection if
a) The seller created and sent me a Paypal invoice
and
b) The goods are delivered by courier/royal mail and signed for.
In my case everything was fine but if the seller doesn't comply with invoice and signed delivery procedure then Buyer Protection is null and void.
It was a couple of years ago though. Unless things have changed since......

Shouldn't that be caveat venditor in this case?

I don't think it applies for private sales?
Consumer rights act I'm assuming you are referring to.
Afaik as long as the seller is not a trader and the advert accurately described the item, the buyer would not be able to ask for a refund
Your consumer rights when buying goods | Consumer Council Advice Directory
The Consumer Rights Act 2015 deals with your rights when buying goods after October 2015.
"If you buy from a private seller, for example a person selling a sofa on a free ad website or in the local paper, you do not have as much consumer protection.
The goods you buy only need to be as described. So if the seller says something is in mint condition, then it should be free of any defects.
Beware of rogue traders pretending to be private sellers. They may do this to avoid complying with consumer law. If you think someone is doing this, you should report them to Trading Standards Service via Consumerline on 0300 123 6262"
