Sent money to wrong email ( my bad). Cancelled a few min later but money was gone. Reached out to the email and got replies it does not exist. It was under friends and family so I can’t get help. Does PayPal just keep it??

Gosh you were lucky, if that mis-spelled email address was valid to another person you 'may' have lost your money !!


Luckily you could cancel??, so when you cancel a payment those funds can't do a u-turn > they have to process through to paypal who will as the transaction was cancelled return them to your funding source (if you paid from your bank account or with a card), or credit your paypal balance (if it was funded from that balance), but that takes a few days and sometimes up to a week.
