Hello, 

 

today i sent £15 to the wrong email address misspelt by one letter and it is a completed transaction through Paypal Friends & Family, so the person i sent the wrong money to has got the money. I have emailed her asking if she could refund me, but as of yet no response. If she never responds to me and doesnt issue me a refund, she will have my money and theres no way of me getting it back?

There must be some way of cancelling this transaction?

Please help!

Hi cjxo

 

Im afraid unless they send it back to u there is no way u can get it back if u paid with your ppal balance as it was sent as a gift

If u paid by ccard maybe u could chargeback

Oh no:(, okay thank you for your help. I paid half of what was in my paypal account and the rest of the money on my debit card x
