Hello!
I run a server where I get paid from my users, so what happened is I was paid ~$500 from on user, this was when I still had to wait 21 days to receive my money. I asked the user who I verbally talked to on skype if he could send a direct payment (Friends and Family) if I issued a refund with the Market payment. He agreed but said he will send it on the following monday because he is getting his new card then. So I blindly sent him the 500 back and waited till monday. That day he blocked me and stopped all forms of communication with me. Is there a way to get my 500 back since he technically agreed to pay me the following business day?
If so that would be great because I hate scammers and I beleive they deserve to be shamed for what they do.
Thank You!

No, you can't force him to pay you.
Also by selling and asking for a friends / family payment you are breaking paypals user agreement and risking your paypal account being permanently limited.
By using that option you are evading paypal fees and negating your buyer his protection, scam sellers use this method.
I hate scammers as well.
