When you make payments with friends and family you cannot dispute it with PayPal. Unfortunately, this is a very common scam.

 

Since you used a credit card as the funding source, you may be able to dispute the transaction with your card bank.  If it's still pending you might even be able to catch it before it releases.  Call the number on the back of your card right away and dispute the transaction.

 

If it's not caught in time, there's a chance the card company could give you a credit, but then your PayPal balance goes negative because they still processed the Friends and Family payment.  If this happens you will likely need to cover the amount and chalk it up to a learning experience.  Hopefully it's a cheap one.

Yes, I would recommend that. Let them know you need to dispute the transaction and you're hoping to catch it before it processes.
