So I bought an account for a game from some dude online and the second i sent the money, he blocked me on everything and dissappeared. I did buy it as goods and services. I am wondering if paypal will refund my purchase if i try to get it refunded. Any help would be appreciated.

Oh no! Because It took so long for you to respond, I did my own research and i came to the conclusion that it wouldn't be refunded. So I disgracefully lied about why I paid the guy that scammed me as a last resort. can you please help me. I am so sorry for lying but I really really really wanted my money back or is there a way to change what I wrote on the reason that i should get my money back? Thank you.
