Hello @katfarmer92,
Thank you for your post and welcome to the PayPal Community Forum!
I appreciate how concerning this must be for you. When a case is opened, you should receive an automatic email from PayPal confirming a dispute has been filed and this will include some information on this case such as your case ID and next steps. Please check to ensure you have received this email.
Any ongoing cases will be reflected on your PayPal Resolution Center. I would ask that you access this via the PayPal Website for more visibility. It sometimes helps to clear your cache and cookies or try an alternative browser too.
If you need help opening a case, you can contact our customer service team. To contact our customer service team, click 'Help' or 'Contact' at the bottom of any PayPal Webpage.
You can also contact us via Facebook PM's or Twitter DM's.

For some additional help with opening cases, please see the following: How do I open a dispute with a seller? & What is PayPal Buyer Protection and how am I covered?
I hope this helps, have a nice day!
Rebecca
