Purchased a Steam account a month ago. They took back the account. What Can I Do?

I purchased a steam account on the 12th January for 28GBP from a user who had positive feedback on epicnpc.com

So I deemed the user suitable for a friendly, safe & fast transaction. Just the other day they changed the details to one of the emails he gave to me.

I asked why he said it was by accident, less than an hour afterwards my steam account was locked. I sent the money through friends and family since there was no other option except "For a Product" which the seller said he wouldn't accept due to the risk of him being scammed, so I didn't argue with that and sent it as Friends And Family or what is now the "Default Option" I suppose.

What Can I do?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks.

So you sent friends / family to save him being scammed but negating all your buyer protection and so allowed yourself to be scammed?
