My HO is that you should have consulted an attorney on the potential repercussions of announcing someone as "a thief" on a public board, and on the Internet. Unless you are so situated as to be prepared to defend a defamation of character action over your few hundreds of dollars.
If what you claim is correct, then perhaps your best stand is the FTC rules regarding mail-order delivery and notification requirements. Do your homework. This a Local Small Claims Court issue. State AG's don't do $300 whines.
As I was advised decades ago on personal matters: "Don't put your shit out on the street". At best, you'll get a group hug.
In this case, because: "Like an idiot, I did not pay with credit card and I missed the Paypal dispute period", if anyone has the slighest interest in your lousy business dealings, a knot on the side of the head is in order.
