Hello,

 

I am extremely sorry to hear this.

 

As Paypal at this moment is understaffed (due to COVID-19 majority of Paypal's employees work from home or don't work at all), have you tried going directly to your bank (if you can as I'm unsure about the situation within the United Kingdom) and trying to dispute it that way? I've previously seen personally when selling a few products that people can directly dispute through the bank.

 

I hope this gets resolved as soon as possible!

 

Sincerely,

 

Tom.

if you were hacked......

Click on the transaction in your paypal account and use the 'report a problem' link at the bottom to report it as unauthorised if that is what it was.

An unauthorised transaction means that your Paypal account was hacked and used without your consent.
If Paypal check IP addresses / devices etc and find that it was hacked then yes you should receive your refund.

I hope you changed your password and security questions?
I hope you ran a virus scan on your computer?
I would also be telling my card issuers and bank accounts company that the account was hacked so that they can keep an eye on your account OR remove the financial info involved until things are sorted.
