    I admit I did have the intention of scamming him yet I added him back after the trade and I agreed to send him 1.5$ all said and done probably about a week later. I felt really guilty about what I did especially because the item was worth so much. I have no receipt of sending the money because that paypal would eventually get deactivated due to be being underage.

    I need to reword that. When I messaged him I did have the intention of doing a completely fair trade yet after the trade was accepted I was extremely tempted. I didn't message him or send him offers with the intention of scamming him.

    @whisperedsolace are you still around and willing to participate in this report? I understand it has been a while, but we have a large backlog we have been working through, my apologies. If so, can you please provide / answer the following:
    • Did this user repay you as claimed above? Are you happy / satisfied with the repayment?
    • Can you provide any evidence of the accused repaying you such as chat, PayPal history or inventory history?
    • Can you please provide screenshot(s) of your inventory history from 1 day before the trade until 14 days after? With overlapping trades in each so we can see the exact order.
    • Can you please provide screenshot(s) of your PayPal Activity tab showing all transactions from 7 days before the trade until 30 days after. If you are uncomfortable displaying these on the report I can hide them for you.

    @paul 7 I will treat your replies as an expedition request given the context from your General Discussion post. Could you please answer / provide the following:
    • Can you please provide screenshot(s) of your inventory history from 1 day before the trade until 14 days after? With overlapping trades in each so we can see the exact order.
    • Can you please provide screenshot(s) of your PayPal Activity tab showing all transactions from 7 days before the trade until 30 days after, make sure your repayment is shown in here. If you are uncomfortable displaying these on the report I can hide them for you. I understand you have lost access to your PayPal, but any effort to regain access or obtain these screenshots would help.
    • What specifically was the repayment? The agreement in the chat above looks like you agreed to $2000 PayPal + items, yet you say you repaid $1.5 (I assume that means $1500?), was the victim happy with this? Can you provide any evidence backing these claims up? Including screenshots of any further chat with the victim if possible.
    Can we please make sure that all screenshots include the full screen (including the taskbar!) and are not cropped or edited in any way.

    Thanks.

    I will provide screenshots of my inventory history later today, I just took a quick glance and there were many trades made in the specified timeframe so just keep in mind there will be many screenshots. Also this was almost 5 years ago, I have no evidence of the transaction being made, I can't even remember the email associated with that paypal, or the chat messages. I unblocked him via steam and messaged him through there regarding repayment. Yes, it was $1500, and if I remember correctly he was just happy that I was able to pay him anything at all, because he was extremely bummed about the situation. I told him I didn't have the knife anymore and offered $1500.

    Was the original agreement not $2000 though? Does this mean you still owe $500?

    The original agreement was $2000 but as I said after I added him back we both agreed on $1500. I don't owe him $500 more he agreed with and was totally acceptable with receiving $1500.

    Sorry I didn't make that clear I just reviewed it. After I added him back we both agreed on $1500. It wasn't like I said take it or leave it.

    OK, thanks. Just trying to get in contact with the victim. Will give them a couple of days. I'll let you know if there's anything else.

    I've been unable to contact the victim, I will mark this for review by an admin.

    Thanks.

    @paul 7 I'm assuming you paid the user back Paypal which isn't an acceptable form of repayment per Appeals policy here so that is an issue to start with.
    Then you claim you did but you say you deactivated the account for being under aged so that is another problem because your basically saying you can't prove it.
    You can ask Paypal to restore the account and see what happens however that isn't our problem if you can't.
    Once restored you can provide up to 7 years of a downloaded CVS file to give details of transactions
    Without you clearly showing the user was repaid as you stated I'm afraid that I will accept this report and you will be tagged here as you are or did clearly commit a scam.
    If you can provide what I asked for in a form of proving you repaid the user we may consider a lesser tag with the amount of time and a few other factors yet to be determined.

    What I asked for above is not going to be negotiated in any form and must be proven to conclude this report one way or another.
    I'm giving you a formal 2 week notice then it will be handled.

    No I didn't de-activate my paypal account, they asked for proof to identify myself and due to the information I sent them they deleted my account because I was underage. And when I was repaying them I obviously didn't have these rules in mind as I wasn't even aware of my steamrep until recently. I don't believe it's fair that if need be I'd need to provide another form of repayment.

    I'm not sure how else I'm able to prove this. I will try contacting paypal and see if they're able to re-instate the account. even if im not able to I find it completely unfair that the victim and I agreed on an amount that I would be for compensation yet I still receive the same repercussions as if I hadn't done so.

    As I was about to message them to re-instate the account I came across this:
