You really need to get your credit card company involved!

Ouch. That is why I always use the CC for anything of value. Yeap you need the police and court. I can't help you there but an attorney can.

Are the Kent Police so useless?

I fully agree. And even more with the email address. Sorry, but I believe this as to go to the "Lesson learnt"-account.

I live very close to that address, people from out that way are normally OK, but don't take my word for it.

Is it not possible that if someone is going to scam you then they'd use a false address?

Well the washing powder was bought in Aldi's, which says a lot about the seller! Good luck getting your money back from Paypal.
