I have been scammed

Hello, so I have bought a scammed PS5 From not paying attention. Went through a discord server, someone sent a link and we found it was fake. The website was called MasterGamesstore. It had a AOL and a Yahoo account. I have the person's paypal after paying them the money. The payment is still pending through Chase, and I feel so bad for getting scammed. I opened a dispute for the case for unauthorized transaction, and did not know I could do it for scam/chargeback.

 

I have the store's website, their paypal name, their emails, their fake address. Is there anything that can be done? Chase has already filed a claim, was wondering if Paypal could do anything. Thank you guys!!!!

A dispute for an unauthorised transaction is telling paypal that your account was hacked and used without your consent to make that transaction.
Paypal would check IP addresses and devices and close the dispute if it was you that made the transaction.

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 you made a mistake 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? If you have already done that then paypal can do no more for you.
