They don't need law enforcement. Law enforcement is lousy on getting
retribution. Credit cards are your best bet on the Internet, and
backing your paypal payment with a credit card will get your money
back even if PayPal won't honor the buyer protection plan.

Can you explain how you get your credit card company to refund your
money, if you officially authorized Paypal to draw from your CC account?

Oh ya! NEVER, EVER, NEVER, purchase online with your debit credit card!
Many people have been put into real bad positions when they found out
their $150.00 online purchase wiped out their $20,000 bank account. When
the bank checks into it, they find the merchant has closed their
account and skipped town. Also, some banks do NOT offer the same
protection to their debit cards that they extend to credit cards! Which
can make recovery even more painful and prolonged....compounded with
bounced checks and no means to get cash in hand (except credit card cash
advance).
