It is simply if you sent the item and can prove they received it. Once it is fitted to the car it has been modified and open to their error, so impossible for the buyer to return to you in original condition.
There for the buyer would lose their case against you if they raised a dispute or claim.
This protection for the seller is what you pay the fees for. If not, and the buyer pays by gift, they can open a Charge Back case with their bank and you lose the money, PayPal protection covers this scenario so as long as you have tracking and proof of delivery, even if the buyer goes to their bank, you will still be guarenteed your money by PayPay, they take the hit financially.
This is why going with gift is actually a false sense of protection by sellers, the buyer is covered by the bank funding the gift payment and the seller has nothing!!!!

I`d agree with what youre saying if Paypal gave careful consideration to each dispute but the fact remains that certainly as far as eBay is concerned, they dont.
I had one guy who bought a 15 year old Losi XX4 shelf queen fitted with new belts ( made 10 years ago ). He decided to open a dispute against me cos when he installed his brushless system it stripped the belts. This was despite it being listed as a shelf model. Guess what ? He won.
Open an eBay dispute and tick the "arrived broken" box, you get refunded. No further questions.
Having been shafted i`ll not let it happen again. 1500 listings later ive had no further trouble and certainly none on here. Fair to say you have to be wary about who you are dealing with though.
I`ll cross you off the list of potential customers anyway
