Hello PayPal community,
I have accidentally sent someone $67.75 CAD as a gift via PayPal. This was meant to be for a friend but was sent to someone else by pure accident.
If anyone has experience in this regard, help would be appreciated.
I would like to add the money came directly from my bank account and NOT my paypal funds.
I will be contacting PayPal first thing tomorrow morning (as it is too late now) when I can as well as contacting my main bank branch about this error as well.

I'd suggest you to call them via phone because filling a dispute will take over 10 days to complete (and that is the minimum, in some cases it could last about a month).
Explain them on the phone what has happened and I'm sure they will be able to help you!
