  Unfortunately, when you send a cryptocurrency transfer using PayPal friends and family, it is considered a non-refundable transaction. PayPal's policy states that they do not offer buyer or seller protection for cryptocurrency transactions. Therefore, it's unlikely that you will be able to get a refund through PayPal. It's important to be cautious when sending cryptocurrency using this method, as there is a higher risk of scams and fraudulent transactions.

  Getting a refund on a cryptocurrency transfer sent using PayPal friends and family can be challenging. Since PayPal does not offer buyer or seller protection for cryptocurrency transactions, you will need to rely on the goodwill of the recipient to initiate a refund. It's recommended to reach out to the recipient and explain the situation. If they agree to refund the transaction, they can send the funds back to your PayPal account. However, keep in mind that this process is not guaranteed and depends on the recipient's willingness to cooperate.
