Yes, do spread the word about PP's complicity to obvious scams that has been going on for years. There are hundreds if not thousands of posts here detailing the schemes. There are facebook and twitter pages devoted to spreading the word as well (look at PP's wikipedia page and under the section "criticism" there is a comprehensive list of actions against PP).
Don't send things back to return address. This is my beleive and someone can verify, PP will only process refund if seller confirms reutrn item is received and in good condition. So if seller is a scammer, would he/she cooperate and confirm delivery? even if victim decides to send it back?
I understand there is a need to protect legitimate sellers, but if the seller is a genuine business, they would not be too upset if they were required to pay for their mistake and have to pay for return shipping, if indeed they want the item back. Now one can say what's to prevent an unscrupulous buyer from returning stuff just because he/she doesn't want it anymore, well that's when human beings can step in and arbitrate, in many cases it is easy to tell whether 1) buyer received an item from a legitimate seller that fits the description of what was ordered, and 2) buyer received an item completely different from what was ordered, and usually a worthless item like a toy ring, a cheap masks, etc. I'm not trying to tell PP how to conduct their business, but the evidence is that they are so incompetent that they desparately need help.
