I refused delivery after becoming aware of the scam after waiting 2 weeks without receiving a tracking number for proof of dispatch by the seller so when it finally showed up late I refused the parcel after reading comments on this forum. So used original tracking number from the seller which showed that it was on its way back. At first they favoured the con artists so I rang paypal up and demanded to speak to a manager. I demanded to be treated as a victim of a crime and not a transaction gone wrong. The manager said all that they needed to generate a refund was proof that it was on its way back to the seller Not proof of it being received back by the seller. As I brought up the same problem you are experiencing as the scams been running since March so a lot of people have had the same problem as you are now. I'm not sure what happens outside of the UK as paypal seems to have different rules in different countries. Mine was only $79.95 I also said I was going to ring up action fraud in the UK and the police if it wasn't sorted. I know someone is starting up a group legal battle against paypal in Canada or America. It's on one of the forum pages. Keep at them and good luck
