Paypal effing sucks, and their email only customer service (probably in India) is totally worthless.
Exactly what happened to me. They will clean you out if you received money from a guy who goes bad on their site and if the transaction you have isn't guaranteed. This is fraud IMHO, but unless you want to sue them, which a lot of people actually do, there is nothing you can do about it.

I stay away from PP on anything over $200 these days. If I can't get a MO or check on that, I don't sell it. I also stopped using Ebay for selling because of them forcing me to use their PP.
