Im guessing that this was done direct through PP and not an Ebay sale as the latter would have to involve a dispute case raised through ebays resolutions centre, It sounds like this was a direct PP payment which the buyer has contested??
More info please

I thought it may have been an unauthorized transaction case.
Was the address that you posted the items to confirmed?

It was a chargeback, so buyer got his money back instantly.
For you to be covered, you would have had to conform to seller protection criteria, i.e. sending to a confirmed address etc. - did you do that?

Encountered this twice for the last 6 months...just recently closed one of the case. Unless you have signature confirmation, I don't think you are cover by paypal. I won both cases of "unauthorized transaction" after I contacted paypal and proved that the account holder signed for the package him/herself. Case closed within 24hr after...now I'm encountering a second scammer who claim the package was "empty".... lets see how this one turn out. My best advice is if the item is over $200, add signature and insurance.

Hmh, I also wondering if it's ok if the OP can send me this buyer username? I'd like to add this person to my list to avoid any future transaction.

I would give them some crap about how I was going to file a Claim with the USPS, a Police Report, and I would make sure I would find out who "stole" the person's stuff from inside the package. Well.....most of the time the item was miraculously found, crazy how that happened.

I was told by ebay rep to wait it out until the buyer open a case against me. I was also told not to file a police report, that will be the duty of the buyer. In the case if the buyer win the claim, I really hope ebay cover for my end since I'm taking their advices. >.<

Not even relevant to the topic.
