SCAM HELP...After I paid this user she/he deleted their profile from the site which she was selling from. I tried emailing this user but I think it is a fake. I am not very familiar with paypal and how to purchase items from this site and the seller told me to send money via paypal "friends" so I can't report it correctly. I need my money back and this person can not get away with doing this.

Sorry but you sent her a paypal 'gift' so she will get away with it.

 

If she was not a family member or a close mate then why would you use that option as you negated your buyer protection and enabled her to evade her paypal fee.

 

You also risked your paypal account being limited as its against paypal rules to pay for goods using the f/f option.
