Sold My Gaming Pc On Facebook Marketplace, Buyer Did Chargeback After 3 Weeks And Won't Return It

Location: Sacramento

About a month ago I sold my gaming PC on Facebook Marketplace for $850. It was in perfect condition, I even recorded a video of it running games before the buyer picked it up just to be safe.

Guy seemed normal when he came to get it, tested it at my place for like 20 mins, everything worked fine. He paid through PayPal goods and services which I thought was safer than cash honestly.

Fast forward 3 weeks and I get a notification that he filed a dispute claiming the PC was "not as described" and had issues. PayPal sided with him and refunded his money. I tried to appeal but they basically said the buyer provided photos of a PC with issues so they approved the refund.

Here's the thing tho, he never returned my PC. I messaged him asking when hes gonna return it since he got his money back and hes ignoring me now. I can see hes active on marketplace selling other stuff so I know hes getting my messages.

I filed a police report but the officer said its a civil matter. I have the guys address from when he picked it up, screenshots of our conversations, and the video I took before he bought it. PayPal is being useless and just says the case is closed.

I have some money saved aside but using that for my car insurance payment next month would completely destroy my finances. Can I take him to small claims court? What are my options here because it seems like he just scammed me and got away with it.
