Hi, I made a payment to a seller on Facebook for postage fee via PayPal and the item wasn’t posted to me as agreed and he has refused to refund my postage fee, I told him I will send the whole money to him of the phone as goods and service but he said I should send half as family and friends so I realized he was a scam, please how can I get my postage fee back from him - £6

Did you send the postage fee as friends/family OR goods/services then?

Then nothing you can do about it if you used the friends/family option.

However if you funded your paypal payment via a credit card then you could contact them and see if they will chargeback for you but again they may decline as it wasn't a payment for goods/services.
