You are responsible for the security of any devices you use Paypal with ie phone or computer.
So if the fraud was committed due to your computer being hacked then you wouldn't be covered unfortunately.
PayPal is only able to approve an unauthorized dispute when it is clear someone else logged into your PayPal account. If someone accessed your device using a virus or malware, then the logins would look like you made them. If you can run a virus and malware scan, it would resecure your device. Afterward, please save a report of the scan and provide it to PayPal's Customer Support. They may be able to reopen your unauthorized dispute with that information. You can find the different options for contacting Customer Support here.

Kudos / Solution appreciated.
