Unfortunately PayPal Goods and Services is usually the safety net in this circumstance. I take it you paid via bank transfer? The person's account has been active for a very long period and doesn't seem like the type to do it but time will tell. Fingers crossed he is just a bit busy and gets back to you.
It might be harder to get your money back if you sent money to someone because of a scam - for example, if you paid a fake invoice or bill. This type of scam is known as an ‘authorised push payment’.
Most banks have signed a voluntary agreement to refund you if you’re in this situation. You’ll have to show:
you followed any security warnings from you bank
you believed the transaction was genuine
you weren’t being careless when you made the payment
If you’re worried you were being careless because you fell for a scam, it’s still worth asking your bank for a refund.
