SR banned trader's offer looks legit. Do you notice anything weird?

Hey,

So I've been trying to cash out and sell my unusuals (some of which are relatively expensive) for a while now and I just received a paypal offer from a guy who is banned on SR and on Skial for "creating a fake middleman group for dota2lounge, dota2trader, and csgolounge", "impersonation" and "fake Middleman Scam".

So he's obviously not the kinda guy you want to trade with and yet his offer is not crazy generous (like the ones scammers usually make) and he's offering to use an official SR middleman of my chosing for whom he'll pay the fees so...

I'm kinda lost. On one hand I don't want to have anything to do with him because it doesn't feel safe and I don't want to lose almost a grand worth of items but on the other hand, I don't see how dealing with him with someone reputable middlemaning could go wrong so I need your help.
Can you see the flaw in this plan?

Thanks!

It's always advised to only trade with trusted people, however keep in mind that he can refund any paypal payment at any time, even if you used a middleman.
if you don't feel safe with any trade, you should probably not do it, it's your decision anyway

Thanks for your answer but isn't there some sort of limit in time to ask for a chargeback (I'm genuinely asking)? And if so, isn't the point of using a middleman to make sure he doesn't receive my items until said chargeback limit has been reached?
Because I know something's fishy: he's a banned scammer, he wants to buy my unusuals and yet has 0 hours put into TF2, etc.
But I just thought that the middleman could hold onto my items until a point where I'm sure he can't charge me back anymore... and then give him the items.

What is this list then? https://steamrep.com/list/M
'Cause that's what I was planning on using but I might have gotten it wrong.
He didn't even give me that link, I just went on SR and found that tab.

That's a fair point, though I don't mind wasting an hour asking to each of them if they'd be willing to do it. I mean, they don't have much to lose, do they?

Well nothing to lose but time, ofc.

You're missing my point but I guess that doesn't stop you from calling me stupid.
I'm not asking you wether or not I should do it, I'm a grown man and I don't care about your opinion. I want facts.

My question is: "say I find a reputable middleman who agrees to MM for us, does paypal have a time limit for requesting chargebacks? Cause in that case the middleman can just hold onto my items until then".

The answer should either be "Yes" or "No", not "don't do it, he a scammer. You stupid. /done"

anyway, remember to take screenshots before you close the chat, y'know, for the report you'll submit, which will mean nothing.

The time limit for a chargeback is about a year. They say six months but I've seen cases of almost a year before.

He is just going to use an impersonator. It's not worth your time.

Any cash offer that is higher than 60% of market value of an item is a scam.

Thank you for being the only one to finally answer my question!
God, what is it with people who have such a high opinion of themselves that they think their advice is always needed.

I DO NOT care about your opinion. I asked a simple question, either answer it(or at least try to) or don't.

And yes I know he is a scammer trying to scam me but I was just trying to see if I could 'beat him to his own game' (i.e. trade with him and not get scammed, not scam him myself) and I was just trying to assess the risks here.
But no, you just think you're so smart and I'm so dumb that I didn't see he was trying to scam me so instead of answering me, you're just stating the obvious over and over again.
But hey, you're an admin on SR so you must know more about trading than any other person to have ever walked the earth.

This has nothing to do with greediness as I have turned down countless offers in the past (some for items worth three times this one), I've been trying to cash out for a year already so I'm clearly in no rush but I just happened to find a scammer who could potentially be dumb enough to spend money against his will if I manage to find a willing MM so I'm just trying to play his game and win (well I won't if I have to wait at least 6 months to be safe).

It only took hours and about 15 posts on this thread to finally get an answer but hey, that's because I'm stupid.

Scammers have zero risk because they will never put up anything they can lose. You can't win what doesn't exist.
