Hello. I was scammed by a fraudulent seller on FaceBook Marketplace, who required a deposit (which I have never sent in the past and never will again), and then the user profile and post disappeared the next morning when they were set to deliver the product. Is there any way to report this to PayPal so others don't get scammed? I paid via PayPal connected to a credit card. I accept that I was not prudent, so assume there is not recourse. Just wondering if there is a process to file a report or complaint to help others avoid this scam. Thanks in advance for any help!

As long as you sent the funds using goods/services and not friends/family then you would have buyer protection so open a paypal dispute as per link?
