Scamming seller used fake tracking number, PayPal automatically sides with scammer, twice.

Here is what happened. eBay seller sends out a fake package with speedpak tracking number. The item is send to my city in Canada, but not to my address on file. I have confirmed this with Canada Post. I open up a claim, and after few days, I was informed PayPal ruled in favor of the seller. Apparently, according to PayPal agent, as long as there is a tracking number that shows something has been delivered to the same Canadian city, PayPal will automatically side with the seller. Actual address is NOT checked, item is considered delivered as long as it is the same city. So I appeal, and provide my communications with Canada post, along with explicit request to get proof from seller that the item is shipped to my PayPal address on file. 12 hours later, I got the exact same message again, PayPal ruled in sellers favor because tracking shows the item has been delivered to my city. There are no new seller response in the case, and apparently none of my messages or evidence is even looked at. Now I need to spend even more time to call up paypal tommorow, and possibly just have the same thing happen again. (I.e have my evidence ignored and case automatically dismissed). How do I deal with this? Can I get someone at PayPal to actually look at my evidence and get proof of correct delivery from the seller, or should I just go do a credit card charge back. Thanks.

Just went through this and paypal went ahead and supported the seller. 

The seller was more clever though. He shipped the order in pieces, that way you get 1 of the 20 items first, then never shipped the remaining items. 

When disputed he provides the receipt of the one item, and never ships the rest. 

I have in writing from the seller via support and email, that he wont be issuing a refund or shipping the remaining items due to a warehouse issue. 

I showed the email to paypal along with an order screenshot of the order details showing the items had not shipped etc. 

Paypal sided with the seller LOL. Twice.
