Virtuell items scam

Hey, so I got this guy that bought virtuell skins from me for big amounts, im talking 25-400 euros per time, it usually works like he sends me the money I get him a skin worth the money he gave me and we move on, we’ve done deals like this for about 2 months and the total amount of deals we have made are around 1.9k usd, but today when I go to my paypal accounts I see that I have a negative balance, I dont care about the balance but it tells me that I have to pay back the buyer, which adds up to 1.9k usd counting all the accounts I’ve used to do this, I have proof of sending him the virtuell items through steam and some messages from him telling me to get him stuff etc, I’m really depressed because I dont really have this amount of money to pay back something that has already been payed back through virtuell items, it was a fair deal, What will happen if I deny paying him back?

There is no Paypal seller protection for virtual/digital items as you cannot prove with online viewable tracking showing it has been delivered by a commercial carrier.

end of the saga.

My balance is negative, can I just leave the paypal account and move on or do I NEED to pay back? If I need to pay back can I somehow fight it?

You have to bring you balance to neutral,aka Zero.

IF NOT,either Paypal will send a collection agency after you,limit your account,use any future payments cominginto your account to fill the negative.

sell something physical where you can proof delivery

There is no fighting to do.  The debt will be sold to a collection aggency for collection.

Hey, so I sent proofs of everything and they said I had proof and he had nothing to present so I won the case! Now im just wondering can he make another chargeback at me if he wishes to? Or am I all clear now? My negative balance is gone and it's all clear on my paypal account, I'm just wondering is there something he can do to try getting another dispute at me.
