Apparently what occurred was that I was sold stolen Lindens from Second Life which resulted in a hold being placed on my account and the Lindens being returned to the rightful owners. However I'm sitting on the losing end as my bank account has already been debitted for the Lindens. I attempted to escalate the matter thru Paypal. However Paypal has no provisions for the return of funds tendered for virtual goods. Would anyone have suggestions on the appropriate channels to use in obtaining these funds?

If you intend to get into the item sales, you must have a specific function in the business that focuses on handling fraud. One reason there is so much entanglement is that there is a lot of stuff here. Money laundering is a big problem. There are organizations who will find a way to launder their illegally sourced cash into something else and then get it back. All very, very interesting! David Also from there:
