Ok, I don't know if I am saying this right but there is no way for us to know if it was a product or service. It only says "dinner" in the details. I said she sent it to us by mistake. I'm not sure where I am not answering the question of "product" or friends/family". We have no products we are selling so she didn't "buy" anything from us. I'm guessing she just transferred money to whom she thought was her nephew but was my husband instead.. I don't know how else to answer that question. ... View more

We've been in contact with person who sent it. She sent it to us by mistake because my husband and her nephew share the same name. She asked us to decline it. But we cannot see what to do. Should she do it on her end? I would hate to wait long to fix this. Thanks. We are very new to workings of PayPal so trying to figure out who to contact and tell us step by step has been hard. ...

My husband account was credited money from a person by mistake. It was just a money transfer. We are having trouble finding how to return it since there is no decline option we can find. Also, PayPal has taken a few out and we are unsure how to get this resolved. Have we missed finding the proper links? His PayPal is a personal account. Thank you. Please respond quickly. ...
