 Sorry you were caught out but this scam has been going for years and is all over the internet and this forum.


Paypal NEVER tell you to send trackable, they advise it for seller protection etc but it is not compulsory.

Paypal NEVER tell you to send an item before the payment is showing in your paypal account.

Paypal NEVER expect you to use a rival money transfer service.

As no part of the transaction was done using paypals site there is nothing they can do for you unfortunately.
