I got scammed using chargeback fraud

[tykezkox]

So I was selling my item from the game Counter Strike Global Offensive, we agreed on $400. We joined a call on discord and he shared his screen telling me that he is a legit trader, then asked for my PayPal address, and sent me $400 (I have a video proof showing the whole process). He sent me the receipts and there was a message saying that the money he sent was NON-refundable and can not be charged back so I thought that it definitely cannot be a scam since he can't get money back. It also said that the transaction can take up to 24hrs to reflect. After this, I sent him the knife knowing that the money is on its way to me, but it didn't arrive to this moment and he blocked me so I can't contact him. I can send my evidence, screenshots (these screenshots are his, he took them and sent me through message) I also ha

LOOKS LIKE THIS SCAM???

If it was marked as an invoice then its probably a scam doing the rounds as its been sent by a buyer and altered to look as though he has paid you.
Signs its a scam are >>>
its an invoice BUT sellers send invoices not buyers
marked as paid
marked as gift
says payment won't show in your balance for eg 24 hours
can't be chargedback.

Paypal NEVER tell you to send anything until the funds are showing in your paypal account balance.
Paypal payments are more or less instant.
Paypal will never tell you that a payment can't be subject to a chargeback if thats what scammers are still putting on invoices.

I got scammed out of $350 dude. Sold a guy some shoes and met up with him. He asked me if I had PayPal and I said yes. He pays for the shoes through that and a couple months later issues a chargeback. I provided PayPal with the messages between us, where we met, and even what he looked like and they closed the case in his favor. I’m beyond **bleep**…

You should really read up on paypals seller protection policy before you start using it to receive payments.

There is 0 paypal seller protection for items personally delivered or collected, always use cash on collection.

If you have his details can you take legal action privately?
