payment sent to the wrong recipient

How should I proceed if I mistakenly entered the payment to the wrong recipient?

I entered an email address, paypal offered me a person's name, I did not check and confirm.

the payment went out, I opened a dispute, but because I sent the payment as family and friends, I didn't have many options to choose from
I chose to hack the account.

an hour later it was found that the dispute was mistaken that the account was not hacked

I don't have the option to write to paypal anywhere and solve it with them.

I am desperate.

You're only option may be if you funded your paypal payment via a credit card? If so see if they will chargeback for you, they may decline as well as it was a 'gift' payment.
