I was offered the $30 maximum reimbursement as well, but I still would be out of some out of pocket money to return 2 masks (I'd ordered an RC helicopter) to an address in Hong Kong, which when I googled it turned out to be bogus. So the scammers are counting on the case never getting resolved, and PP just standing by.
So, does PP actually reimburse the $30 once you showed that you send it? Without proving it got delivered?

I would also like to know how this is supposed to work. So far, it doesn't seem like we are protected at all from fraud occurring through paypal. I know I will be thinking twice about using paypal for future transactions. Paypal didn't even ask for my supporting documents, they just sided with the seller. "Send it back (paying more than the item is worth) and they will refund in full" sounds like I'm not the only one this has happened to. So disappointing.

There are inconsistent reports on what happens when victims send worthless items back.
First question is: will PP reimburse (assuming victim pre-activate "return program") right away, once prove of shipment is uploaded?
Second question is: will PP refund original purchase, even without prove of delivery (address given may be bogus and undeliverable)?
Some have reported success in getting full refund (yes for both questions), some have reported only getting the $30 return shipping (yes for first, no for second question). And some reported no for both questions (likely not pre-activate return shipping program).
So unless we have assurance on how PP consistently treats these cases, I don't recommend anybody sending crap back.

Well, 75% is better than nothing and you'd cut your losses. But in rpinciple the scammers still "won" in that they'd sold you a piece of junk at tremendous profit, and it was a forced sale. PP was supposed (in most buyers mind) to provide protection against these scams but obviously they don't.
