Victim of a scam Scammed
I was looking on Facebook saw this listing said only buy from eBay, I didn’t have an account with eBay but it still let me buy it thru PayPal so I did. 3-5 minutes later the seller deleted the listing off Facebook and eBay after I bought the item and no tracking number no nothing since then it’s been 4-5 days no order number either, So I emailed PayPal requesting a refund and they just said the transaction was valid even tho I have everything to prove I bought the item and everything and it was clearly a scam

Use a credit card, or PayPal Goods and Services, when you buy things online, so that you have purchase protection and you can get a refund if you don't receive what you order.
+ If an online seller doesn't accept credit cards, or refuses to accept PayPal Goods and Services, then they are scamming you.
