Hello! I send money to someone i supposed to buy something and i forgot to tick the goods and products and it was a scam can i cancel this payment or ask for a refound or dispute ?

I received a receipt number via email but no phone number or way to track my package. I can't get a hold of anyone at PayPal....how do I get my money back. The charge should have been for 69.99 and I was charged 80.??.

Charged by ROI $96 for sanitizer and never received. Tracking number is bogus. Still trying to get my money back 1 month later. I use PayPal because I thought it protects me, not the scammers l!!!!!

If you didn't tick goods/services then sadly.........

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 also 'risk' having your account limited as using that option for purchasing goods is against Paypal rules.

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.
