This should be very easy for them to trace down, the paper trail and emails are obvious...

I guess you can just make it difficult for a sale to ever go through again with the same name or you could try and do the same scam on them further down the line... it does stink.

If anyone ever pays me through paypal, I'd be tempted to treat it as a physical asset. So that the paypal protection applies. Just record it as a laptop sale through paypal or something.

Then the scam can't work can it - because paypal see it as a tangible good... if the buyer refuses to go ahead with your paypal invoice saying "computer parts" or something - then maybe that's a clue about the scam that they are doing.

These scammers need a beating.
