Hello, i sold 12 csgo keys (virtual item) to some man on steam for 23€. After i received money, i send him csgo keys. Next hour i lost that money for "Unauthorized payment". After told him this, he blocked me on Steam and he dont communicate. He is definitely scammer because he have now on steamrep 2 reports and he got yesterday Reddit BAN because he doing fraudulent trades. I think this man using hacked paypal accounts and something like this.

Paypal will investigate the unauthorised claim and if they think it was unauthorised ie someone hacked his account and used it without his consent then he will get his money back.
Normally paypal would reimburse you but as there is not seller protection for virtual items then they don't do so.
You can sell virtual items but unfortunately its entirely at your own risk.

It says "if you are seller protection eligable" but you will not be as it does not cover virtual items.

As it's not like an item not received dispute there is no set time.
It takes as long as it takes to investigate the account holders claim.
But if they find his claim is untrue you may still win . ......... fingers crossed.
