Stan, trust me on the one, I am just as "special" as you. Log on to Paypal, grab your phone, physically get Paypal on the phone. She "American Princess" will walk you thtough getting your payment returned and sent to the right email.
Payals customer service on the phone is truly amazing.
By American Princess I mean you will get a call center in Missouri, not some East Indian girl claiming her name is Dianne when it is really Bahhvanguyen.

just got off the phone with paypal, i guess i didnt check the right box and it was sent as a gift so they cant take it back, she said all i can hope for is that he returns the money, she said it is still in his account but they cant touch it because i gifted it to him

Do a "whois" search and see if you can find a number to call the guy. Don't wait, once he claims it or transfers it to his bank account I would imagine it would be much harder.

If you sent it to someone who is only the occaisional web guy it could take months to get an answer. And don't feel bad, i did it a few years ago. One mispelled word and some fuck in New England was $350 richer and I could do nothing about it. The Paypal gal on the phone was really cool though. She told me that if I could get the guy to admit it was a mistake on email she could pull the money back. She said they could identify modified emails so don't try to fake it. But this person never once responded and Paypal really frowns on the misuse of the "Gift" function.
So, here is a story about Paypal. I was selling a very complete 87 Gran Natty turbo drivetrain for $4,000. A guy makes a $500 deposit and puts in the note section "Balance to be paid in 30 days". Six weeks into it he says he can't buy ther rest and he wants a refund. I tell him no. He files a complaint with Paypal and gets his $500 back. Using all the available online options there is truly no recourse for buyers remorse. So I call the 800 number. Within 5 minutes the guys loses the complaint and my 500 large are returned to my account. Turns out there is no buyer protection for services or deposits. Epic win if you ask me.
