I would immediately delete all credit cards and bank account information on your Paypal and EBAY accounts. They always go by the buyers irrational claims and screw the sellers. Ebay/Paypal managers are not car-people and have no clue about anything automotive. What appears to be a perfectly rational explanation by you will be completely ignored by them. I can gaurantee that they will pull the money from your account if you have a credit card or bank account still associated with the Ebay account.
