Yes but how did you send it, did you use goods/services OR friends/family.

Which country are you in.

How did you fund the paypal payment.

Does it say pending or unclaimed in your paypal account.

Hi @ineedhelpguys,

 

Thank you for your post and welcome to the community! If the payment was sent as a friends and family payment, there would be no Purchase Protection associated with the transaction, so a dispute would not be possible through PayPal. I'm sorry for the inconvenience and loss of funds.
