I’ve been scammed and PayPal is not helping

I have been scammed while buying a concert ticket... I sent the seller around $270CAD while buying a concert ticket which I never received (it was supposed to be transferred to me over ticketmaster but the ticket clearly didn’t exist because they kept telling me they sent it but I never did receive it)... the seller was texting me and telling me to send the money to his email but to choose the personal option so that there wouldn’t be a 21 day hold (I don’t use PayPal often so I wasn’t aware that I should have chosen goods and services). I have told PayPal this and even offered to send in copies of the text messages to verify that the person instructed me to choose that option. PayPal will not refund me my money because I chose the wrong option. I called PayPal a couple of days ago (the same day I sent the money to the person) and they told me they could not dispute it until 2-3 days after. I called back today and got nowhere with the whole situation. Now I am out all of this money and I am a poor student. This is ridiculous!
