i recently sent a payment of $105. i chose friends and family instead of goods and services. i opened dispute because turns out the person was a scammer. i was supposed to receive a laptop from the person. he was supposed to ship it on 8/28/15 but when i tried to contact him, it said that he blocked me so i couldnt talk to him. when i did get contact with him, i asked him for shipment proof and instead of actually taking a picture, he sent me a picture he found on google. i just looked up received package from ups and found the picture. i contacted him again and said i was blocked and he wouldnt talk to me. i contacted paypal by phone and i "chose the wrong choice" when i was opening a dispute. i chose unauthorized transaction or transaction error. it technically is a transaction error. they told me to wait and refile a claim, but when i read the resolution center dispute case, it basically said since it was authorized by me the person that received the money will be favored and keep the $105. i think this is bs especially when the person i talked to just said it was a unauthorized transaction and didnt say transaction error. what do i do because i most likely 99% lost the case and i just lost all my money. this was on wallapop that i found the item
