Besides this incident, what other evidence do you present that Paypal is a massive scam? I've used paypal for 5 years and never had a problem. I'm sure things like this happen, but it has to be a negligible percentage of their volume.
It's not. Someone tried to rip us off on Paypal once. After they received confirmation that we'd shipped their product, they contacted Paypal, claiming that we'd scammed them, and demanding their money ($400ish) back. They got it, immediately and without any real question asked. As I'd already transfered most of the money out of the Paypal account, the amount I actually lost was small, but my account had a balance of negative several hundred dollars, which meant I couldn't use it for anything. It took about a month to get them to reset my account balance to zero, which is the point I stopped trying at, even though it still left me down the fifty dollars I hadn't withdrawn.
