If anyone has this happened to them, can you pm me and tell me if you were able to get your fund back?

Maybe.  But sadly, I think paypal stated somewhere on the terms that if you were to be involved in cryptocurrency trading, your account would be in trouble.

How about you start by visiting a lawyer, maybe he can find some loophole and sue their a**. Paypal is so.. ugh!

If eBay runs by the same TOS or works with PP, then you're probably fucked. eBay hates mining and BTC, and anything they see involved with BTC on their site most of the times gets banned and shut down. That's just what I've heard from stories around the site, you'd have to check for yourself to make sure. Try calling PP or eBay and asking, that's probably the only way you'd ever get your money back. PP runs on a case by case basis a lot of the time, so if you get the right person you could have a chance at getting your money back. You'll probably be directed to a manager for that amount of money though, GL.

Sorry for your loss, I believe even after you wait 180 days you still won't get your money....

Paypal doesn't deserve anyones business.

maybe he didnt know about bitmit

Because people on Bitmit knew real value of those miners (if we talk about erupters)

Serves him right I guess.

I wonder why he didn't sell his miners on Bitmit ^^

I believe the buyer reported you to paypal, because they won't even bother checking it...

I tried to withdraw the money the money I had fund, but paypal reversed my transaction so the money never got deposited into my bank account.
I guess it was my fault, I should have withdrew all the money the moment it went into my paypal, but I waited until every transaction/all the items I were selling to be finished to withdraw the money. I made a request for a full withdraw, but the very next day, paypal froze my account and reversed the transaction.
