I try to type the website up that I made thhe payment on, it is no where to be found. So I believe it was a fake website.

All of PayPal's documentation will not help you since you're missing all the information stated on the transaction you have made on the guest checkout.
I would advise you to get a statement of your Card/Bank account which will include the account information and then contact PayPal Support to issue a refund if you have the proof & right to get your money back.

Note: You can open a dispute within 180 days of the payment date. Here’s how:

  1. Go to your Resolution Center and click Report a Problem
  2. Select the reason for your dispute, such as:
    • I didn’t receive the item I purchased
    • The product or service is not as described
    • I have a billing issue

You can't open a dispute on a guest transaction as they have not paid using a paypal account.

You don't have Paypal buyer protection cover as a guest buyer but you can contact customer services and they may be able to assist you by reaching out to the seller for you.
So If you need help for a guest buyer transaction then you can;

1. Phone Paypal customer services and see if they will help you.
OR
2. Contact your card issuer for a chargeback.
