The one time I was offered $30.00 by PayPal to assist in the return of an item to China with a tracking number, the out of pocket cost to me made it not worth while doing, as I would still be out an additional 29.00 and change. The fact remains that PayPal needs to step up and deal harshly with unethical sellers by returning to the buyer the cost of goods and services. By doing this just a few times, it will send the message to the seller, and have them out of pocket for the crap they send instead of the items promised. This is the simplest way to reducing the ability of unethical seller to do business. Hit them in the bottom line, instead of the seller offering 2, 4, 7 dollars back on a 30.00 order the seller would be out of pocket the 2.00 it took for them to buy the item. This as I see it makes PayPal complicit in the scam as PayPal makes money off the transaction either way. PayPal does not really have anything in place to deal with sellers like these other than once the seller has been identified as a problem PayPal freezes their account maybe , but they simple close that one and open another.
