The person who received your money by mistake is the best person to help you. That person can refund your money back to you in a few clicks after logging in. Just email that person and ask for the refund. If it gets nowhere then here is a PayPal Customer Service phone number to call: 1-888-221-1161.

This number can be found after you login into your PayPal account. You will find a Contact Us link at the bottom on the account overview page. By clicking Contact Us you will see a help page which has another link that says Help By Phone. Clicking it will get you the above phone number. I once called that number and after some buttons later I was able to talk to a live person. You can talk to the person for as long as you need to describe the problem and listening to the help suggested by the person. I am not sure they can cancel your payment. I believe they will tell you to contact the person who received your payment and ask for a refund. Unless the person is a thief you should be able to get your money back quickly.
