How did you send the money ie which paypal option?

What does it say on the transaction in your paypal account?

How did you fund the paypal payment.

I can only help and will reply back only if you answer all 3 questions.

Sadly there is 0 paypal buyer protection for friends/family payments.

[kingrotiel]

Even if i have evidence like chatlogs and went to the police to report it?

@kingrotiel 

There is no buyer protection for friends/family payments regardless of emails / chat logs or anything else as you basically sent a 'gift' of money to someone.

Hi, I had the same issue, but I did not send by choosing family and friends. And the amount is on hold on his. Any way I can get that back?
