It is next to impossible to trace due to the resources required & PayPal does not have those tools within the US. Our US Gov't does have the resources to find persons.As for overseas emails, PayPal is again helpless as the local gov't of authority usually does nothing. Parts Africa & all of Romania are good examples of gross lawlessness.
PayPal does nothing to protect sellers if just one of three details below are not correct regarding item never received claims. Per PayPal-
1- Must ship within seven days
2- Buyer must have confirmed address
3- Seller must prove shippingThe newer overseas (outside of US) trick is to buy fairly expensive items with an uncomfirmed PayPal address. If you miss one of the three items, you still lose. Be aware most overseas buyers have uncomfirmed PayPal addresses!
Of course, other PayPal fraud options exist beyond item not received.
