A couple of weeks ago I ordered something online and paid with PayPal. I’ve since found out the seller hasn’t been active since 2013 and no longer ships out merchandise.

The charge allready shows up paid on my statement.

Is there any way to have the charges reversed?

Thanks.

Yes - PayPal will help you if the seller refuses to refund the money, ship the good, or is unresponsive.
