This makes sense...Make it clear that you want what he has unlawfully taken from you. No argument for blackmail can be made when you are merely seeking to reclaim what was fraudulently taken from you.
Also, don't be afraid to contact local authorities in his area and indicate that you want to file charges. Larceny by Trick, false pretenses, possession of stolen goods...there are legal charges that you may be able to take against this guy to make his life miserable. Also, if he had a DUI conviction recently, he is likely on probation of some sort. ANY kind of criminal charges or convictions could get him hung up pretty bad. I hate to see dishonest people profit from people who work hard for what they have. Do what you have to do to be made whole. Don't just let it go at Paypal. They aren't the end all be all authority and you have other means of recourse to try to at least put the fear of GOD in him for your troubles. Best of luck.
(Edit: Just realized the article indicated the DUI was earlier this month. He probably doenst have a conviction for it yet, but its probably coming.)
