I provided paypal the info one would expect they would need, they did get me the 1/3 refund offer pretty quick from the "vendor" which I refused in principle and that got the vendor to offer the full refund once they received the junk product back in Malaysia. Too costly, so I continued to explain it's all a scam and Paypal is helping this company scam PP users. I provided the link to tis thread explaining multiple people have been scammed. I don't know if that broke the the dam, but I got the request for more info which was "did you report it to local police or some other govt agency" As local PD could care less, possibly USPS or secretary of state might log the info, but there is nothing they could do. One of the options was the internet crime complain center IC3.I went that route, just gather your info up front since I went off the link to get some info and lost all the work I put into the initial report. IC3 won't be able to do anything, but they will track the data. What it might allow PP to do is actually use that as a valid report and they processed my full refund pretty quickly after the submission. Once you submit to whatever agency, make sure you print to pdf or whatever you can, since you have to send the completed report to PP. It take some work to get enough info to PP so that either it meets their criteria or they use the formal report to cover them from complaints of unsubstantiated reports. If the latter, I can't blame them, and while they didn't make it easy, they dd come through for me. good luck, and be safe
