Unfortunately I know from experience maybe 10 years ago now, an RME audio interface for £900, you wait around for ages waiting on your case and eventually it gets found in your favour and you get reimbursed, I am not sure how they recover the funds or if they just take the hit. Was hoping my post would have stopped that happening on this one, but I guess not.

Where do they get so many stolen accounts with high seller scores?

I imagine they're for sale on the black market.

Stolen accounts via phishing.
They do require some verification before changing bank account details, but support can override that for you. So I don't know if as many scammers recover money using normal payment methods.
The one Dave showed is much simpler, money goes directly to scammers/mules bank.

Sometimes they just delete your purchase and then you have to remember to go into paypal, find it there, and dispute it. Otherwise your money is gone.
