Items that are not tangible goods, items that are the equivalent to cash and access to digital content are not qualified for PayPal buyer protection so you can not get your money back trough a Dispute/PayPal Claim process.

Your last resort would be to do a chargeback/Payment reversal trough your debit/credit card issuer and try to get your money back that way. But that only works if you used such a card as the funding source of your payment.

Scammers are aware of this issue. But it is still good that you opened a dispute since several disputes against his account can cause the scammers account to atleast get locked.

How much money have you lost?

thanks for the reply, it was only £15 even though he wanted a lot more up front but it was mostly my own fualt because i knew he was probably scamming me and i took the risk so i cant really complain.

i know you said i won't be able to get my money back through paypal but he has not admited again to scamming me this time on the paypal disputes this is what he says 

is their still no chance i'll get my money back ?

There is no harm in filing a dispute anyway if you can and see if you can get a refund but i doubt it as it is an intangible item.

However if you funded your paypal payment with a credit card then contact your c.c. issuer and see if they will do a reversal for you. If it was a debit card then contact your bank.

i used my paypal balance to pay for them and, in the dispute/ resolution centre he's admiting to scamming me and i can't escalate the dispute yet. Also in skype im he is asking me to unhold the dispute and he'll give me a refund but i think he is scamming me again.
