When are we, as a society, going to take small crimes seriously?

My girlfriend got scammed out of over $1000 on Ebay recently (seller is within the country). Here was the dastardly scam: she ordered something, and the seller never sent it. Ebay would do nothing; the police would do nothing.

Why can you just take people's money like this?
