Denied my claim against buyer who scammed multiple eBay sellers

The buyer recently scammed a number of eBay sellers using PayPal, claiming products never arrived.
In my case, the buyer told me the product arrived. I discarded the tracking information, only to have the buyer later file a claim with PayPal. Despite having the email, records of the gift cards being used, and the exact same scam being pulled on at least four other eBay members by the same buyer, PayPal denied my claim.
The kicker is that when I first spoke with them, I was told that if the buyer showed a trend of this behavior, they would refund my money. I was able to track down at least four other people who were victims, and PayPal basically told me tough luck.
Avoid using PayPal as a seller at all costs. They care nothing for sellers.
My only easy option to recoup my money is to scam someone else in the same manner. I'm not willing to do that, yet. But should I change my mind, according to PayPal's agreement, there is no way to stop me.
