Cancel a friends and family money transfer

Hello, good afternoon.

 

I sent some money using the friends and family mode and I would like to cancel it or just get a refund. 

The story goes like this:

-a family member went to a small food market in a different country, and they told her that the accept paypal.

-she asked for the paypal email, and she gave me that email and I sent the money.

-minutes after, she told me that they made a mistake: that's not the email they use for paypal. That email they gave her is the one the use for Zelle(this is important)

-I told my sister to tell them this: if the person has a Zelle account with that same email, it means that he has access to the email account and also the paypal account. They just need to log in and do a refund.

 

But here is the problem: they are being obtuse about it. It should be a simple refund and call it a day, but they don't want to do it. That's why I'm trying to get a refund.

Hi there @osmeldu

 

Welcome to the PayPal Community! 

 

I am sorry to hear about the issue you are experiencing with a Friends & Family payment. Unfortunately, there is no PayPal Buyer Protection on Friends & Family payments. For this reason, PayPal can not assist in obtaining your refund. You will need to work with the other party to obtain your refund in this situation. I apologise for any inconvenience caused as a result of this. 

 

Thank you for your understanding. 

Rebecca.
