I'd personally be inclined to speak one last time with a Paypal CS rep and tell them exactly what you're doing, as it's quite possible they'll back down and pay up once you've made it quite clear that you intend carrying out your threat, but if they still refuse, go ahead and lodge your complaint, and if the FOS find Paypal to have erred in their decision (which they clearly have), not only will the FOS instruct Paypal to refund you immediately, they will also levy a fairly substantial fine on Paypal as well - something in the order of a couple of thousand dollars or more, so it's definitely in Paypal's best interest for them to accede to your request, before it costs them 100s of $$$s more than it needs to. BTW, do so via phone, and definitely NOT email as these are routinely ignored.It looks like the buyer opened the case with eBay not Paypal. Is it still possible to involve the FOS?
As far as both eBay and Paypal are concerned, the case under discussion has been closed and they've said so themselves. A new complaint with the FOS may well involve an item which has already been subject to adjudication regarding another matter, but that particular matter had nothing to do with the case in hand so I can see no reason that precludes the OP from lodging a completely separate complaint with Paypal, especially when it relates to to an error which Paypal have clearly made but failed to rectify prior to their closing the case. Paypal can claim what they like, but the fact is that they have improperly closed an unresolved case and it legally falls upon them to resolve the situation ASAP.
