Hey, guys.  I was wondering If anyone could help me? see I've just been scammed by an ebay seller who sold me an a graphics card on and told me to transfer money to him through paypal. I've tried filing a dispute with Paypal but because I transferred through "Friends and Family" I was only able to file through an unauthorized purchase and they they said there was no problem. I'm currently trying to message them but Haven't gotten a response yet. Anyone have any solutions to get my money back?

Hi @Onerater64 ,

 

Hope everything is well.

This must be really hard for you right now.

Unfortunately since the payment was processed as "family and friends" the transaction is no longer eligible for our buyer protection program.

I highly suggest to call your credit card issuer or your bank for other options.

A few tips on how to avoid being scammed.

What are common scams and how do I spot them? 

 

I hope i was able to assist you on your concern. Thank you for your patience and keep safe!
