There is a misconception about gift payments.
They are 100% fine, u just have to take to your dispute directly to your credit card company instead of PayPal.
Again, gift payments are 100% fine because u are still covered by your credit card company.
OP, just call your bank tomorrow or send them an email explaining the situation and tell them that u want to file a CHARGEBACK.
It's happened to me before. You file your chargeback and the funds are returned within a few business days.
Not a big deal at all.
The only issue is that banks are so cooperative that buyers are now scamming legit sellers by filing chargebacks after they've received the item!
But yeah OP, you'll get your money back. Just contact your credit card company tomorrow.
And again, paying as a gift is 100% fine because you are still covered by your credit card company.
