The "normal" way to do this is just tell the Credit Card Company its a fraudulent charge. Federal Law gives one 60 day to do this and without your signature your 100% going to get back your money, regardless of where the purchase is. The Key is to say its fraudulent, don't say one word more or let them have you give more info. The Credit card companys will ask all sorts of questions, each one, stick to the line its a fraudent charge.
Now, with Paypal, you have circumvented the ferderal protection. As its two transactions, and is listed as such on your paypal account. One, from the credit card, the second to the vendor your telling paypal to pay. This is why on any major purchase, it should ONLY be direct to the seller via CreditCard
Personally, I think Paypal should be forced to have the same protections, but its just a company, with ZERO federal oversite ... I think over time, they will be forced to me inline with banks, but for now, its the wild wild west. At a minimum, file a complaint with your attornery general and send a letter to your congressman, thats the only way things will change, when enought people get ripped of andforce something to be done.
I'm sorry this happend to you, but I suspect, you knew from the start you were taking a risk with some serious $$ and knew, new panels at half the price ANYWHERE had to be a shaddy deal at best.
