I got my money back and here's how. Don't bother with the seller. I emailed back and forth with them. I explicitly told them this was a scam and they didn't disagree. They agreed to a 95% refund and promptly disappeared. I bothered the criminally and purposefully ignorant at PayPal until they told me to file a report with the police or with the IC3 and then to provide them (PayPal) with a copy of that report. I made sure in the report to document everything and especially to indicate how poorly this was being handled by PayPal a number of times. I did so and was almost instantly refunded all my money. So to be clear, PayPal knows this is a scam. They just have to push you to do as much as you can possibly do until they will do ANYTHING.
