Victim profile: 76561198150058632

What happened? Description:

Got an australium grenade launcher. They offered to buy it for $35. I looked through his profile, rep.tf and steamrep, all seemed to check out with a history of trustworthy trades. We went through with the trade, since im new to this and don;t have any rep from the past, he asked if I could send the trade item first. I accepted and sent it, he sent a screenshot after with the paypal thing to confirm that it was my paypal email. I confirmed it and they said they were sending it. 5ish minutes passed and I did not get any message in gmail or paypal. Checked again, he didn't respond. He went offline so I checked a few hours later. When I messaged him i still had no payment and it errored when i messaged him. I went to his profile and friend requested, and steam said that he blocked me.​
