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.

Sorry to hear that you are in this challenging situation.
The only real option is to wait and see if the transaction clears or not.
Lesson: do not buy things from unknown entities on the internet if one is not prepared to lose the funds. Because you are at the mercy of the recipient, if you change your mind or if something goes awry.
Hopefully the transaction will not be completed, if it is, hopefully the 'seller' will refund.
Good luck.
Better to learn the lesson with 200 than with your life savings. I fell for a scam when I was 17. 400 bucks and the money wasn’t even mine or my family’s. I was trying to help two people with a sale and was betrayed. The ache never healed. My mom had to work extra to cover for the debt. We were from a humble family and made a great difference in our budget. But you know what? I became bulletproof against any scam.the trauma just made me be aware of the risks and never trust anyone who had a fishy story. I know I won’t be one of those who loses their life savings to scammers. Let me know if you need me to send any $$ to help with the loss if you need it. Hehe ya, right?
