If your payment came from a credit card (or a visa debit I believe) linked to your paypal account go and do a chargeback at your bank.

Why did you pay via paypal for the mopeds? You should never pay be paypal for pickup only items. They should only be paid in cash ATER you have inspected the item and checked that it is as described and fully working.
Even ebay recognises that it is not safe to do so and do not insist on paypal being offered for motor vehicles. It has always been in the paypal User Agreement that they do not cover pick up items.
You are blaming ebay and paypal for your own shortcomings.

It baffles me why someone would pay by Paypal for a pick up item. Especially if they had not gone & looked at the item in person. That's usually just asking for trouble, which seems to have happened in the OP's case.
