PayPal sending money

Not necessarily.

Okay. Check the email headers the the senders IP address.

If its a virtual item you sell the person its pretty much impossible to do that.so use *REMOVED* :L if you're mailing something or anything like that a tracking label can keep them from reversing it.

What use would an IP Address be in this situation?

Because then PayPal can compare the IP address with one they have on file.

It isn't impossible to spoof an IP address that appears in the full email header. If someone was dedicated enough to scamming to the point where they reverse money, it isn't past them to use the ways available to hide your real IP in an email header.

You would be surprised at the lack of people that don't do that.

What if I won an auction and paid for it on my computer but used my mobile phone to send emails? They'd have different IP Addresses (providing they weren't on the same wifi network or didn't tether of course)? Would that make me a scammer?

A scammer would simply complain an item hasn't arrived when it has done in order to get the refund, the whole IP Address thing strikes me as irrelevant.

It depends on the type of claim made. If you file it as unauthorised yet you have the same IP something is suspicious. (I know that some RATs allow you to steal IP addresses but that's besides the point.)

lol... you can't steal an IP.

Unfortunately you can. I'm not sure if I can name the RAT but something of the same name may be useful on a sunny day.
