If you have sent a PayPal gift payment to someone can that money be returned? I’m assuming not but thought I’d best check.
 
I would say that although the policy stands, i think they could look at each on a case by case basis if you can supply them with all the information, and show some devious reason, a scammer or such.
Far as im aware most financial sectors have some sort of adjudication. I'd contact them at least to see what their position is on it when they are approached over a specific transaction.
 
In some rare cases, yes. If the receiver fails to claim the money, it will be automatically returned after a month or so.
 
Re:

That’s slightly more positive. I’ll try to contact PayPal

Basically I’ve purchased a item and seller gave a incorrect email to send payment. I’ve sent payment and then get message to say email was typed incorrect.

Reading online it says once it’s gone it’s gone but I’ll try PayPal now
 
Re:

I had a very similar situation last year (I typed .com not .co.uk) unfortunately PayPal where not interested, I even tried to contact the person I actually sent the money to but never got a response. Luckily it was only £18 but still hard to swallow.
 
Re:

Mine is £129 so I’d rather not loose it.

Spoken to paypal and they weren’t much use. They basically said the same as the poster above linked to. So sounds like I’ve got to hope the money bounces back in 30 days. Can’t imagine many people would return money but I’ve emailed the email address to ask if they have received money and explained what happened. However if I received a email like the one I’ve just sent I’d assume it’s a scam
 
Was the seller on here?
