The problem here is very easy if op will tell paypal that he paid for goods and services paypal will ask him to provide for example the invoice or the website where he bought it, now if the scammer say it was for virtual goods paypal will investigate the case and the chance that op will win is 50/50....
but then the scammer can still re-open the dispute if he appeal the case, i think that the scammer did try to win time in the 2 days to cashout his mostly fake paypal so op will never see his money again or paypal will not see it again if op win the dispute!
