Hello @Christof65,
Welcome to PayPal Community Forum and thank you for posting!
I understand that you've ordered something through a fake website and would like to cancel the payment. Please note that some payments can be canceled while others cannot. You may only cancel a payment in your 'Pending' payments which shows as Unclaimed, meaning it hasn’t reached the intended recipient. These payments are displayed with a ‘Cancel’ button alongside. You won't be able to cancel a pending payment that doesn't have a "Cancel" link. In this case, you can contact the recipient/seller and request a refund. If the recipient/seller doesn't agree to refund your money, you may be able to open a dispute in the Resolution Center once the payment shows as completed.
Best Wishes,
Ayesha
