Getting money back

[Aknight11]

I bought $40 worth of goods but as soon as he got the money he blocked me on every site we were talking on. I have tried contacting him through PayPal but he says all of this is a lie and wont give me my money back. I have opened a dispute but then I accidentally closed it and now every time I try to open a new one, it says that the case is resolved. What else can i do because it is quite a lot of money for me at the moment and i really need it back.

You are only allowed 1 dispute per transaction so the only way you can get a second dispute opened is to contact Paypal (when and if you can) and see if they will open a second dispute for you.
They may decline citing policies but if you say what happened then they might open a second dispute for you.

If not then if you funded your paypal payment via a credit card then consider contacting your card issuer and see if they will help you with a chargeback?
