Our laws are about the same as yours by the sound of it but the important point to note is that con artists dont care about the law, if they did they wouldn't be con artists. At the end of the day they know as well as you and I that they're not going to prison over your $10, at worst they'll have to give it back, and for everyone they refund there are probably 10 people who dont complain and dont get their money back, so they're still laughing all the way to the bank. And I'm sure they're smart enough to give you the money back before paypal closes their accoun, and if they do have it closed they'll just start trading under a different name again.
I dont wish to insult you but I get the feeling you're very naive.
