What happened? Description:

I was selling some TF2 keys for irl money, Foreigner added me saying he will buy them. He went first and sent me £49 for 46 TF2 keys, I received it and proceeded to trade him the 46 keys. However, he could not trade because of SteamGuard, so his "Girlffriend" added me and took the keys off me instead. Everything went fine until I received an email saying PayPal has put my funds on hold because the buyer has issued an unauthorized use of funds.​

Thank you. Can you please provide:
a) pictures of your inventory history showing it in the Steam client. Please include all history from the day of scam.
b) pictures of the payment. Please do not crop it.

Just a quick update, Jesse was kind enough to send me £50, so my account is no longer in the red

As I said, we need to see all history from the day of scam. It means that you have to show me at least one trade from the day before so I will be able to see the continuity.

Also, please take pictures of the payment details.

Just another quick image

Sorry for all of these replies

Do not worry. Please choose "Click to Resolve or Check Status" and take a screenshot of it.

Accepted.

The Steam Guard limitation was created for a reason. The trade agreement was made between http://steamrep.com/profiles/76561198029678935 and http://steamrep.com/profiles/76561197998646989 and since http://steamrep.com/profiles/76561197998646989 was unable to trade due to the Steam Guard limitation, it was within your rights to refuse to trade and issue a refund.
