Got scammed for 1000 usd for a YouTube channel

You are not screwed. Your money is not gone yet. For intangible goods, PayPal tends to side with the buyers. Hence, for example, most SMM Panel avoiding PayPal as a payment service. The users MUST ask them to activate it. They said too many chargebacks, and they lost the disputes.

Calling PP customer service is the best option. They have representatives in many countries, find their customer service in your country. Local number, local language.

Just be calm, be honest, be polite, be straight and clear with your answers. This is gonna be your words against the bastard's words. But do not try too hard to convince them. They have procedure, so listen and follow their instructions, provide what they ask. No need for extra words, let them decide. Remember, keep calm and polite.

What about they guy who I buying YouTube channels is against the YouTube TOS and I will lose the case because of that?

PayPal will NOT refund simply because you went against YouTube TOS.. Buying YouTube channels just like SMM panels buying YT comments, views, likes, etc.. is a big NO NO with PayPal.. It like asking for a refund because you bought bad illegal drugs using PayPal!! I am sorry but your money is gone.

No true. He will win the dispute as a buyer even if he sends no proof.
 
Paypal is often unpredictable when it comes to disputes but they usually favour buyers. Hope you submitted enough evidence.
 
Yeah for all Paypal knows you guys are trying to get $1000 of them.
 
Did you pay with credit card?

If so, go to your bank and you will get your money back easily even if PayPal declines. Did that few times , still have all PayPal accounts.

What about it? Both of you and the bastard are against the Youtube TOS here. What makes you think he will get away with it, but you won't? They have procedure, just follow their instructions. From my experiece, you will get your money back. So be patient and keep calm.

Youtube channel is not an illegal goods. Youtube TOS or any other party TOS is irrelevant for Paypal. What really matter for Paypal here is, is there really a scam or not. So it is up to how you present your evidence. Like, when you found out he sent a fake login, did you message him, how's the conversation going, did he directly inderectly implying he cheat you, etc.

Paid him the money thru PayPal. After he sent fake login details. Now I raised a dispute so payment is on hold. Will I be able to make a claim and be eligible for PayPal buyer protection? I read thru the conditions and it didnt seem to include YouTube channel as an item that is eligible to claim . Any ideas to fight this?much appreciated
