In the middle of May 2021 I contracted with a lawn service to cut my lawn.When it came time to pay them using PayPal I mistakenly sent the $60 to the wrong email address. My fault. When I realized what I had done, I immediately sent the money to the correct email address. The lawn service provider is NOT part of this dispute. I contacted PayPal and asked for my $60 back. It got denied by PayPal. I sent a second request with full details of my mistake and again asked for my money back. It was, once again denied. I contacted the person I had mistakenly sent the money to and asked if they could help. They replied that they don't have any dealings with PayPal and, until I had sent this email to them, did not even know I had sent any money to them. They had not accepted the money and had no intention of doing so. I submitted this information to PayPal and asked for my money back or at least a $60 credit with PayPal. Case denied again - no surprise. What else can I do? PayPal has my money and won't give it back. The unintended 'seller' doesn't want it either. PayPal has just grabbed my money and it's probably going nowhere except to PayPal's bottom line. Yes, I'm mad and frustrated and probably out of luck. Thank God I didn't send $10,000 to the wrong guy.
