If you want advice you would need to say how you got scammed !!

did you pay via friends/family or goods/services?

did you fund the payment via a bank account or credit card?

which dispute did you open?

did you escalate to a claim?

what happened?

[Ebz03e]

Yes for friends and family I only found one option for disputing it and it was for an unauthorized transactions I can't figure out how to escalate the claim.

A friends / family (or gift payment) is intended as a transfer of funds from family or friends to one another. For this reason, there is no processing fee when payment is made with bank or PayPal balance.
However as it is a gift payment, there is also no Buyer protection as no goods or services should have been exchanged.

If he was not a close mate or family member you should never use that option as it enables the seller to evade paying his paypal fees and negates your buyer protection at the same time.

You would also not be able to open a dispute apart from one citing an unauthorised transaction but that would be automatically closed as you did authorise the initial payment.

Be careful as using that option for purchasing goods is against Paypal rules and can lead to account limitation.

If you funded your paypal payment via a credit card then contact your card issuer and see if they will help you but unfortunately they may decline as well as it was a gift payment.
