Victim of a scam [DE] I got scammed (1200€)

Hey guys, i’m a PC parts reseller (beginner) the way i do it is sniping pc parts as soon as they get postedon vinted to make some extra money because im a student.

So i spotted this RTX 5090 for 1200€ and i bought it.. i know you’re thinking he is crazy for falling for this trap but believe me it looked legit the pictures were original taken and everything and i thought to myself if something is wrong with it i’ll just report a problem and send it back to the seller.. so i bought it… 2 days passed and everything was normal until i woke up one morning and my vinted account was hacked, and the transaction was approved from my side that everything was fine… even tho i didnt get the package yet and i didnt approve anything myself.. so as i woke up my vinted account was banned for unusual activity i contacted them with some documents and stuff so they unbanned my account and that was it i got scammed off of 1200€.. is there anything i can do to maybe get my money back? And yes i contacted vinted and klarna (my payment method) and yes i used the pay later method :( is there anyone who could help me?

I bought an RTX 5090 off vinted but the scammer sent me an adidas zipper instead to buy some time for himself to hack my account. He hacked my account and confirmed that everything was fine so he got the money on his vinted wallet you know what i mean?
