This is a common occurence when you sell digital / virtual goods.

 

Unfortunately neither ebay or paypal can help you as there is no seller protection on either site for virtual items.

 

They only cover you for items sent trackable in the post that proves delivery of the item to the buyer. 

 

You are welcome to sell virtual items via paypal but it is at your own risk.
