Seller deleted his account after I purchased the item and has taken my money, PayPal closed the case

Hi everyone, i've had this issue where i purchased an iPad. I paid for it and shortly after the seller deleted their account, the account went from pounds to Australian Dollars when shown on the paypal transaction which i thought was suspicious initially before the account was deleted. So i opened a claim through paypal to try and cancel the transaction but they closed my case as i mistakingly chose the wrong section and deemed it unauthorised transaction so they said i wasn't eligable to buyers protection. PayPal said i could open a case with eBay, but as i go onto ebay they said i couldn't as i already opened one with PayPal. Was a lot of money and i'm pretty worried about it 😬. Thanks for your time!
