Every buyer who can't read my listing then starts complaining has opened paypal disputes. Why exactly don't they open ebay disputes?
Do they hope they can get a refund directly from paypal because with ebay they would lose the dispute automatically because they failed to do things that are clearly written in my listing that are required?

First
You can put whatever you like in your Terms of Sale, but if you take Paypal you make refunds.
Once the IMEI has been processed (marked as shipped) there is absolutely no cancellations allowed.I am making this notice to protect my self against unreasonable claims.
Nope not enforceable.
And likely a reason that your unhappy customers don't go to eBay, where they may think they would not be able to dispute their transaction.
Then
EBay only allows 30 days after the delivery for a dispute. Some customers may find that too short.
And
You are actually better off with a Paypal dispute, since eBay requires the seller to pay for return of the item, while PP makes returns (with confirmation of delivery) on the buyer.
It also occurs to me that by picturing a phone in your listing, some of your buyers may think they are buying a phone.
And I am guessing you are not selling a physical thing but a digital download (or something techie like that)?
Digital sales are handled quite differently than physical ones.
Since you already have one neg from an unhappy customer and are complaining about others, I suggest you take a look at your Seller Account, especially the accumulating Defects from those Disputes.
EBay closes down sellers who lose Disputes. Including ones through PP where they have to give up their fees.
They also close down sellers who include their own websites in their Terms of Sale. Promoting off-eBay sales is definitely not allowed.

Maybe you should make your listing less complicated?
The Description is not the place for instructions on use.
Remember that many, perhaps most, of your customers are shopping on their phones. Can they even read all that text?
Have your listing read by someone who uses a phone the way most people drive a car. Perhaps your grandmother, if she isn't a systems analyst or technical writer.
And listen to her advice.

The ad I looked at was not exactly clearly written.
For example:
Processing Time: 1-5 WORKING DAYS (MAX 7 DAYS). Generally within 72hrs
really should be
Processing Time: 1-7 BUSINESS DAYS.
...
Another example:
IMEI Supported: Unpaid bills, In Contract, Blacklist, Lost, Stolen
makes it look like you are unlocking phones that are blacklisted, lost or stolen
...
Far too much "fine" print about how you don't issue cancellations or refunds to dumb buyers.
You should specify up near the top that:
DO NOT buy if you do not know EVERYTHING about your device.
...
And things like: Visit us at: www.---.ca are against eBay's site rules.
