I recently got caught into a scam with a company claiming to sell oculus headsets and I used guest checkout and I’ve lost over $170. I called the bank and they said take it up with PayPal. What do I do ? I wasn’t emailed an e-receipt and have no proof of the transaction other than from the bank. Help ?

If you bought something online with a debit or credit card and didn't log into your Paypal account then of course it won't show on that Paypal account because you bought as a guest buyer.
You don't have Paypal buyer protection cover as a guest buyer but you can contact customer services and they may be able to assist you by reaching out to the seller for you.
So If you need help for a guest buyer transaction then you can;
1. Phone Paypal customer services and see if they will help you.
OR
2. Contact your card issuer for a chargeback.

Kudos / Solution appreciated.
