Is it possible to reverse a paypal payment

My sister has just called me in hysterics. Her son has accidently donated $1186 to a website called http://www.romulation.net/ which provides downloads of old console roms. I presume paypal will not reverse the payment, so is best course of action contacting the site admin and pray they do the right thing.

He is 15 so he should know better. The problem is that my sister is a single mum working for the NHS and is not exactly loaded. My nephew is going to have to start getting used to paper route as he has to pay this off.

Because her account was used without her consent, I imagine. I'm not sure whether or not she has to be able to prove that, though.

Worth a try
