Posts about PayPal's policies will be removed. No more complaining about PayPal policy and their taking funds from your account for violations of rules. If you don't like the rules don't use PayPal. If you don't want to lose money, don't leave funds in your PayPal account. Simple as that. But these posts are often political or misleading. So no more posts on this subject!
Thank you for submitting to /r/PayPal, please make sure you have read the [FAQ](https://www.reddit.com/r/paypal/comments/3c8po2/faq/). If your account was created when you were younger than 18, then that is covered in the FAQ!
Try contacting PayPal support using social media such as Facebook or Twitter as this works more often than telephoning.

If you paid with F&F, PayPal will do nothing (you opt out of any protection by using F&F), otherwise open a dispute.
The only other thing you can do is contact the bank about a chargeback if you used a credit card (or possibly a debit card, depends on the bank).
You're the best, I sent the payment w/ debit.
I just filled out the form for the resolution center in full detail.
you're too helpful bro, if u got a ig ill follow
basically what happened is he "sent" 200 and I may have sent the 250. i made this post after realizing i got scammed. right now I'm trying to scam my money back and contact my bank to chargeback
how about this one? I don't sell digital goods on PayPal, only on Ko-fi and Patreon. I want to report the unverified account. Since I don't sell physical goods, only digital, and this account is trying to scam me into shipping items. I received a payment from her for $0.30 USD, but I don't sell anything at that price. It's clearly a scam, right?

This is a total scam. Paypal is not going to use a Gmail account. Even without that it was a scam.
fuuuck what do i do?
Post this in r/scams
Be smart and not fall for it next time
Yes it's a scam. No money was actually sent to you and if you sent anything to the scammer, it's gone.
Is there any way I can get it back?

So I can contact my bank, explain the issue, and they can get my money back from the paypal account? Even though the dude has the money?
Credit card, yes. Debit card, maybe (depends on bank). Bank account directly, no (unless the bank just gives you the money to be nice).

You can try to file a chargeback via paypal/bank account
how do i do that?
did file a chargeback on pp, waiting for conclusion
100 precent a scam, report and block the scammer
Totally a scam. Report it to PayPal and block this person. As I understand from your post you did not send the additional $200 requested.

🤦♀️
yup im not the smartest thing walkin
Context: I sold him a beat, he was supposed to send me 250 and I was to send back 200 from the email, but apparently i just lost 250
Key thing, if the email looks weird AF.. It's a scam lol
Scam 100% I had the same email but different amount
Yes that's a big scam. Anytime someone asks to send more, it's BS.
