I recently saw a program on TV about Ebay and one segment was about these two guys who bought some $ 1500.00 piece of equipment from a guy who turned out to be an Ebay scammer. Paypal didn't do anything so these two took him to small claims court and the judge threw the book at the guy. They got their judgement and the scammer got a strong scolding.

They may never collect on that judgement, but they at least didn't take it laying down. That is the problem, most people just roll over and don't fight back when this happens.
