So after spamming the PayPal Executive Office email address with dozens of screenshots of everyone's post on this forum, I received a response today out of the blue. I have pasted it below, with my response underneath. Maybe someday they will get the message!!!!!

MY RESPONSE:
Patrick,
Thank you for responding, my apologies for spamming your office with the posts of dozens of extremely angry and frustrated PayPal members who are being scammed by fraudulent Chinese sellers. Frankly I had given up on getting the $89.99 back that was stolen from me, but I would appreciate any consideration.
These sellers are running a scam, plain and simple, and are abusing Paypal's cumbersome resolution process to steal thousands, if not millions of dollars from honest consumers. And PayPal is allowing, even enabling this to happen by hiding behind its user agreement.
I would like to offer one simple solution to end this fraud:
Do not release funds to Chinese sellers until the buyer confirms that the correct product has been received.
Its that simple.
This policy could be waived for Chinese sellers that have a long track record of successful sales. The fraudulent sellers undoubtedly have very short histories with PayPal, probably signing up under a different name every time they run a scam.
Furthermore, PayPal could still deduct its fee for managing the process. Buyers would much rather lose a few dollars to PayPal in fees, than the entire amount to the criminals.
Thanks again and Happy Holidaze,
Albert <removed>
