45 days after it was delivered and positive feedback was left, the buyer claimed it was unauthorized use of his account and Paypal reversed the transaction. The scammers know every loophole to play eBay and Paypal.

Ok but you don't see the benefits of PayPal for buyer protection? eBay exists as a buyer-driven marketplace. If you can't protect the buyer, why would a buyer use your service?
