What happened? Description:

Scammed my Cloudy Moon Unusual with PayPal money.

I checked his profile, steamrep, he provided "proof" he had done PayPal transactions with big traders, like Strife etc.
He looked clean, so I sent him the item, but then he removed me and didn't send me the money.
He probably has alts, where he stores his stolen unusuals, because I haven't received anything at all.​

It would help your case if you could upload uncropped screenshots of your trade history.

Here you go.

I have done as requested, although it is not possible for me to look further back than April 2017 regarding PayPal.
I did however create and attached a custom activity download report from PayPal which allowed me to look further back, more specifically from the beginning of August to the end of August 2015.

I hope this is enough to suit your demand.

Apologize, misunderstood the concept with snippets. Full screenshots are now provided for everything.

Regarding PayPal, the custom activity download report is the best option I have as PayPal did update their GetTransactionDetails API and is stated on their Help Center. Reference: https://www.paypal.com/us/smarthelp...ansaction-history-greater-than-3-years-ts2241

They have written if you want to look further back than 3 years of activities, you must create and download a custom activity download report, where you can fetch transaction history older than 3 years.

Exactly, and that is what I have done with my transaction history for the entirety of August 2015. I just downloaded a PDF version of the transaction history and took a screenshot of its content.

Just to verify my previous statement, I included September 2015 as well to showcase some transactions I had completed at the time.
This is to show you that I have not done a single transaction in the entirety of August 2015.
