I guess you didn't make a simple check for scam accusations/issues before using the site again?
Especially if a while has passed since you last used it?

There's an accusation on their thread, July 2016.
A simple quick google search turned up a "Ripoff Report":
September 2016:

The website offers the opportunity to sell bitcoins for PayPal. I got on their website and looked it over and everything looked legit. I was in a little financial crisis so decided to sell some bitcoins that I had. The transaction was complete and I was able to check the status of it. On September 2nd my transaction was approved but no money was ever transfered. I have submitted three help tickets now and there has been no response. Stay away from this website!!

There's another one for October or 'nearly'. The guy sent a sort of 'plea letter' to cointopal to not scam him.
He says it worked for him. Maybe you could also try that. Who knows. Grin

But your coins are most likely gone.

After i hastly made the transaction i got a afterthought about what i had just done! i had sent nearly 1 BTC through this website which i didnt look at sucupilously for any reviews or signs of scams (as i usually do)...my heart felt heavy and after i saw the ripoff report i was even more worried about what i had just done! Given around nearly 600 USD to somone ..a complete stranger!
i honestly was feeling sick by now at the thought of how stupid i fell for something like that. I wrote a support letter (a plea in my case for the guy not to scam me) and waited...at that stage it was the only thing i could have done tbh. I slept onit and woke up a few hours later and eagerly refreshed my transaction ...(you need to keep the transaction window open as there seems to be no way on the site to enter a transaction number)..it said 'approved' after being in pending for more than 6 hours.. i then checked my paypal and lo & behold it was there! ...Halleluyah!
