PayPal help.

Need help badly with PayPal problem!!
Hello recently I got scammed by an imposter. The man told me to send the payment as a gift and then when I did he logged. I'm trying to get my money back but it's so much harder because it's sent as a gIft. Does anyone know how to chargeback a gift on PayPal. Also the PayPal paid through my credit card. Please help me. It's all the money I got for Christmas and I know I am stupid.
