Paypal question: sending money to unverified account

I recently bought a card from someone and in my haste to finish the transaction and go back to whatever it was that I was doing, I didn't notice that the guy's paypal address was "unverified"., as in, it says "The recipient of this payment is Unverified". The payment was sent as a "goods" purchase, not a "gift."
So, in the event that this guy never sends the card, am I still protected by Paypal buyer protection, or am I hosed?
