Using that logic, if someone bought a car, and was sent to dealer X to pay, but was told they needed to go to dealer Y to pay, they should get a free car as they were given the "wrong" info.

NO because they HAVE made a payment, but to the paypal email address you gave them.

CALL THEN TO CONFIRM THAT THEY HAVE MADE A PAYMENT AND GET THE TRANSACTION NUMBER AND THEN YOU CALL CALL PAYPAL AND GIVE THEM THE TRANSACTION NUMBER SO THEY CAN TRACE WHERE THE MONEY IS IF IT HAS BEEN PAID. WITHOUT A TRANSACTION NUMBER PAYPAL WILL NOT BE ABLE TO TRACE THE PAYMENT

But they hadn't paid, your buyer had

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the money only existed in "PayPal's cyberspace", and has now been returned to the buyer.

Payment is when a buyer funds the seller.
Payment is NOT when the buyer funds an external party that is not the seller.

Firstly: Calm down.
Secondly: We already know where the the payment "is", it has been returned to the buyer's bank account, as it went 30 days unclaimed.
Thirdly: As previously explained, I will not be calling the buyer.

no payment is when a buyer makes a payment, they made the payment, but you never claimed the payment, so therefore you committed fraud.

By that logic, if I walk into Tesco's and give the cashier £1, I can then walk into the corner shop next door and take £1 worth of stuff, because I've "made a payment".

Once the payment is safely in paypal then it is paid for, you can't wait for the money to be transferred into YOUR bank account before sending the item.
As they had paid it as per your instructions on your listing ebay should find in the buyers favour.
If you've opened as many disputes & contacted ebay as much as you claim to have done in the past few weeks then they may decide that for your own safety you should have your account suspended.

you need to call them and tell them that the payment has been returned unclaimed and ask them to check their paypal account.

you will be surprised at how many people use paypal, but have no idea how paypal works ( i can name at least 1 person on here simmed)

If the shop next door said that was what you had to do then yes. That's basically a metaphor for how you started to waste your victims time. I know you don't get it because you are so self centred as I said before.

They did "open their email", as they replied.

The second e-mail obviously. The one you said they didn't respond to.
