I sent a payment to a person I owed money to via Paypal, but he told me he doesn't use Paypal to accept payments anymore. How can I cancel the payment and get my money back?

Oh dear, how well do you know this person?
Only SENT means you sent a gift of money using the friends/family option to an email address that is linked to an open and valid Paypal account and it has processed successfully.
As its a gift payment then unless they voluntarily refund there is no way of getting it back again.
If he says he doesn't use paypal then he still has a valid account so could ask paypal to help him regain access OR do you think that the email address / phone number you sent it to was incorrect OR he no longer uses and has been reassigned to another?
