How did he send the payment? as a service or good? or as a gift? I assume not the latter since he sent enough to cover fees. The concern I would have is the multiple transactions. Paypal may require tracking info for each transaction. He could then "claim" he never got 3 items. When paypal asks you for tracking, you'd only have the one and he would claim that was all he got. So that would be my primary concern.

Check with paypal policies and see if there are minimum amounts for them to offer protection. A transaction under 250 may not have the same protection for a transaction for 875, for you and the buyer. He may have done separate payments if his funding source limits him to a certain amount. I doubt it but who knows. You can refund him the 4 payments and tell him you need it in one for the protection of both of you.

If you are still unsure, just refund the money, and say something came up with family or work if you want. After all, You are not bound by any contract to complete the deal.
