Good to see you got your money back. When i went through legitimate fraud with paypal, they decided the case against me and so I had to take it up with american express. They did an immediate chargeback from paypal, and paypal in turn got stuck eating the fraudulent charges. I'm glad i never used my bank account for paypal, or i'd have been screwed.
For those of you considering filing criminal charges, I wish you the best of luck. A friend of mine went through this several years back. 2003 maybe. He bid on an auction for a bunch of plasma tv's on ebay. They were really cheap...too cheap in fact. Like $8k for 8-10 of them. Anyway, he won and the seller requested escrow. He provided my friend with a website to use which he wired money to. Everything looked legit. As soon as the seller got his money, the site went down and that was that. Aside from us taking a road trip with a couple of baseball bats.
We were able after several weeks to find out the kids name and address (he was in canada) but there was basically nothing that could be done. American authorities told us to contact the canadian authorities...who in turn told us basically that there was nothing they could to about it.
Now, if we couldn't get someone brought up on charges for $8k, I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for the authorities over there to do the same. Especially if it's only for a couple hundred bucks. I hope it works out for you, but it's really a mess when dealing across international borders...based on my own experience.
