Domestic (US) money transfer Fraud or scam California

I found an ad on - for tickets to a basketball game that were very cheap. The seller asked that I pay using Paypal and that they would send me the tickets electronically. Since I knew Paypal to have guarantees against fraud I went ahead and sent the money via their mobile app. No tickets were forthcoming. It turns out that the scammer asked me to use Paypal 's " send to friends and family '' payment option which does n't offer said fraud guarantees something that is n't noted in the sending money process.
