Fraud

[Haley514]

I recently sent my old friend $150 for sneakers that he was supposed to ship me. After he received the money he blocked me on every thing so I cannot get in contact with him. It’s Christmas time and it hurts that I lost that money due to fraud. Is there any way I could get help with this!

Whaaaaat kind of "friend" is this? And on x-mas too!

Did you send money as friends and family? The payment status will say "Money Sent". If so, then I am sorry, there are no refunds and no purchase protection. Otherwise, locate payment transaction in your PayPal account activity, click it, then click "Report a problem" to file an Item Not Received (INR) dispute.

But I suspect you sent funds as friends and family since you were so easily ignored OR the recipient is not familiar with Goods and services payment type and PayPal buyer protection.
