If the money is in Pending/Unclaimed status for 30 days, the money will be returned.
If you see a Cancel link though, you may cancel it.
If the status is Completed/Money Sent, the friend has to get access to the account to issue a refund.
They can contact customer services as guest, verify ownership to get access:
- https://www.paypal.com/smarthelp/contact-us
- Click Password and account access.
- Click Login problems.
- Click Call Us after “This information might help” box.
Or reach out to PayPal at Facebook or Twitter.
