Dispute Denial - Mail Fraud Scam

[Confusion4]

I made a purchase from an online seller, and never received the item.  I opened a dispute, and the seller sent PayPal a USPS tracking number showing that a delivery had been made.  I contacted USPS, and was told that the tracking number was fraudulent.  It was a real tracking number, but for something that had been delivered to someone else at a location in my ZIP code.  Essentially, not my package, and a tracking number obtained by hacking USPS.  I sent this additional information to PayPay, but this was ignored and PayPal denied my claim.  How do I reopen the claim with PayPal?

APPEAL

To submit an appeal on the dispute that was closed, PayPal asks that you obtain a detailed report from the shipper/courier (on their letterhead or some other form of official stationary) that includes the address the seller gave them for the shipment. Or one that includes a statement mentioning your address and saying the item was delivered to a different address.
Check tracking in below link to see where it went.

When you have that, contact PayPal via phone (log on to your account and click Contact at the bottom of the page, however that may not be an option at the moment due to covid), or via Facebook (send a Private Message to PayPal) or via Twitter (send a Direct Message to @AskPayPal) and say you want to appeal the denial of the dispute based on the shipper saying the item was delivered to a different address. Once it's submitted (you will be provided with directions on how to do that), the dispute will be reviewed further and a determination will be made.

You also have the option to contact your card issuer if you funded your paypal payment that way and see if they will do a chargeback for you.
