Evan, sorry this happened to you. You've been more than patient, and I hope you get your money back.
As I'm sure you are now aware, never send payment via Friends and Family! You're correct that you have no buyer protection through PayPal. I'm amazed at how many sellers request payment that way. I've been asked to use F&F at least a half-dozen times in the past few months, and I always refuse.
I have no idea if this Justin guy is really having "family health issues", but it seems when someone isn't honoring their debts and their shenanigans are made public, the excuses fly - their relatives are dropping like flies, and all manner of bad luck and catastrophe has crossed their path.
