So basically I was giving my cousin £80 for an Xbox that he needed for his kid and I sent it to the wrong email. Worst part is that person claimed the money and i have messaged him countless times and he doent reply. Any way I can get my money back?

Don't think so.
You could call PayPal customer service and ask, but it was your mistake.
Sending money by PayPal does have risks--just a simple email mistake. Sending by check is much less chance of a mistake.
