You have ZERO protection with eBay or PayPal. Don't bother reading the rules they are meaningless. The individual at eBay/PayPal you are dealing with holds all the cards. It is their personal decision that is binding and the rules mean nothing.
I had a similar situation with eBay earlier this year. Sold a mint pair of Tannoy drivers. The buyer trashed the things then claimed they were defective. He did absolutely nothing that eBay asked him to do to prove the drivers were defective. I did everything they asked me to do and clearly demonstrated the drivers were fine. Guess who got a box full of junk back? Guess who won the dispute?
You have ZERO legal recourse. Binding arbitration is all you have the final defense of crook's and and thieves'.
The bottom line with eBay is you should never spend more money than you are willing to loose.
Unfortunately in your particular situation the outcome was predictable.

The SELLER has ZERO (or, almost zero) protection.
The buyer, on the other hand, is OVER protected; almost to the point of having carte blanche to defraud & rip off the seller.
That's one of many reasons I still buy quite a few things on ebay, but haven't bothered selling in over a year.
...eBay/PayPal has just increased the time a buyer can file a dispute from 45 days to 180 days. That's absurd. I can imagine folks enjoying their purchase for five months and then getting in a jam for money and filing a dispute.
Dean.
reelsmith's axiom: Its going to be used equipment when I sell it, so it may as well be used equipment when I buy it.
Both parties have little protection but the seller has the weaker position for sure.
Bottom line is one takes a lot of risk buying or selling on eBay. It is like gambling. Only play with what you can afford to loose.
