Scammed - Buying virtual goods.

Hi everyone. Today I purchased some virtual goods for about 37 dollars, and was upset to see myself scammed. At this point, I'm not sure what to do. I see that PayPal does not cover virtual currency in their buyer protection plan, but it's pretty obvious that I have been scammed and I even have video evidence. Anyways, I created a dispute in the resolution center and am awaiting the response from the seller. Was this the right thing to do? If not, what should I do?

Best you can do is try a dispute, in most cases PayPal won't help with intangible goods but, one has to at least try.

 

If you did pay by credit card, suggest contacting the card issuer and inquire about doing a chargeback, it's possible they may assist.
