Would help if you said which option you used to send the money and how you funded the paypal payment?

Also what is it saying next to the transaction in your paypal account?

[Matthew11111]

I sent the money by frie8or family with debit card and it's saying the transaction is complete

ok then unfortunately there is no buyer protection for friends/family payments so if the person you sent it to won't refund the funds there is not a lot you can do about it BUT try >>>>

1. Contact customer services and see if they will reach out to the recipient and ask them to refund. If the recipient refuses then Paypal can't force them to do so as it was a 'gift' of money.

2. Speak to your debit card issuer and see if they will initiate a chargeback for you?
