Hello,
My name is Minh. I have been using PayPal for 3 years and I am a reputable seller on Steam.
I and a buyer on Steam <removed> came to an agreement of a sale of my M9 Crimson Web Field Tested via $214 PayPal. I asked him if he had verified PayPal and can pay the fees, he replied he met all my criteria. His Steam account was kinda new (1 year with low play hours) but I was in a hurry to sell my knife, so I carefully told him that he had to give me $0.01 via PayPal first (just for checking if he was verified) and later pay the invoice which I was going to send him, in which I carefully stated that the payment was for virtual item and by accepting to pay there is no return. He also confirmed that by resending me an image of my invoice via imgur (as stated in the chatlog) <link to image removed in accordance with Community Guidelines>. He then paid the invoice and I traded my M9 in a Steam Trading Window in exchange for this (worthless) XM1014 Blue Steel which he threw in. 10 days later (yesterday) PayPal has given me a notice that the payment of $214 is currently on hold because of unauthorized payment. The PayPal email he gave me has Berit Svensson as the name of the holder, which he earlier claimed to be his "mother's". I could only screenshotted the later part of the deal where he gave me his PayPal email and I told him to add the notes to the payment.
I have filed everything to PayPal support but I do want more advice from the community. Thanks for reading.
