Thanks, John

Perhaps an Ebay going away party. He can immediately transfer that Paypal money into his banking account, drain it before the crap hits the fan and hit the road.

Not much Paypal can do at that point but hopefully law enforcement can do something before he starts up another account and pulls the same stunt over and over again.

Maybe Paypal might pay out to the buyer and take the hit themselves if it came to that, I don't know. Paypal and Co. doesn't seem like the benevolent type to me.
