how long does it take?

transfer my money back and I will give you your knife, I wrote that I made the transfer

You never paid me, here's updated screenshots.

You also messaged me this morning saying that you were at a computer club yesterday and that you didn't do it.

Give me my knife back man, please.

paypal feed

hopefully this is sufficient, let me know if i need to provide any more screenshots.

So I added him after I saw his listing on CSGOTraders saying that he was buying knifes for real money, I messaged him asking if he was interested in my Gut Knife Lore FT, he said yes and offered me 0.018 btc / 125 usd for it. I agreed to the 125 usd and we settled that we he would pay me over paypal, I sent him a trade offer with my paypal address as he asked, he sent back a counter offer adding a case to his side of the trade and captioned it "For paypal [email protected] 125$". I accepted the trade, he said he would send it in 5 minutes, a few minutes later he said he sent it and I didn't hear from him until after I filled this report out. He told me he was at a computer club the day that it happened and that he did not do it and then said Trade hold 6 days which made me think he would give my knife back. Although after that he said that 2 people were sitting his account and I needed to close this steamrep case otherwise there would be "problems with trading" and he would not give me my knife back. He then said that I have his money, I checked my paypal again, I don't. He then threatened to write a complaint about me and provide screenshots and once again that he will only return my knife if the case closes. I told him hopefully he has a paypal invoice and that I would close the case when I received my knife or $125 USD. He said "your right I told you my terms" and I didn't respond

Thank you for admining this site, I know I'm probably never gonna see my knife again but at least you and the other admins are making sure that people like Turbo can't scam any other naive people like me

Let me know if I need to provide any more information.
