How does PP honor merchants website Terms of Sale/Terms of Use?

I sell on a website called Ruby Lane.  RL has all sellers and buyers register and agree to Terms of Use/Sale (like all websites).  They also have a partnership with PayPal.  My question is if PayPal is obligated to honor RL's Terms of Sale in a transaction if a buyer has violated it, costing me money and the non-retun of my product.  I have a buyer who has violated my and RL's stated Terms of Sale, causing me to have to pay additional money to get my item back ($200 for a $500 item!).  PayPal has returned her money, I still don't have my item.  If the buyer is in violation and doesn't deserve her money until I get my item, how does PayPal honor that?  The claim she opened was closed in her favor.  I have sent emails to PayPal with only automated responses.  I called PP and spoke to a rep who said she would pass all elevant info along to a review committee.  This morning the case was closed with no further response.  Thoughts?

If the person opened a dispute within that website then it would fall into the terms of use of that company. If they file the dispute with PayPal, then the only TOS they follow is theirs.
