Only unused in-game content and unused VP purchased within the last 14 days are eligible for a refund. In-game content counts as used once it's taken into a game: that means you've reached the loading screen of a match in any mode (including custom games or practice) with that content equipped.

If none of the above solutions or information is helpful to your issue, you can always use your credit or debit card directly, instead of using PayPal. In addition, online vendors have online gift cards for Valorant's premium currency. You can try to use PayPal to purchase an online gift card; most find this to be an effective solution. Note, gift cards are geo locked so purchase them from your region.
