Hello Paypal community just a few moments ago I was scammed $35 after purchasing a Digital Good from a seller. We coordinated through Skype and he said he would give the information after I give $35. After I send a payment to him through Paypal he dashes off and deletes me off skype. I automatically take this to the Resolution Center and I send a message demanding a refund but he plays it off as if I was scamming. I have visual proof of his act of scamming so am I entitled to a full refund? Will Paypal be willing to see the proof I have??

did you send the payment under goods and service ,not friend and family?
if so,file dispute of item not received,he gets no seller protection as he cannot prove he has delivered the goods to you with tracking.

Yea it was service and goods. When contacting ebay should I say it was a digital good or say it was a physical item they did not send?

Alright thanks for the help! So when I tell them it was a digital good do I show proof that he didn't send it?
