MobbaHobba: ok
Nick: send as a gift, and put this in the note: I, the customer, am paying for virtual goods. I understand that absolutely each sale is final. The initial time of the product's life is determined by the vendor, and I cannot/will not dispute any payments. This payment is final. I agree to these terms for this product.
MobbaHobba: k

MobbaHobba: ok
Nick: and as soon an i recieve the money ill send you a trade
MobbaHobba: u said ure gonna do 1 now and 1 after i thought
Nick: oh i thought you meant like so youll trust me
Nick: like um
Nick: you go first, so then youll have my trust to do the other one
Nick: rather than doing both and have the risk of being scammed
MobbaHobba: i thought well do u give 1 bud now and 1 after
Nick: No, i will not go first, you have to little rep, if you dont feel comfortable we can use a middleman
MobbaHobba: are u selling any buds
Nick: 13
Nick: yes
MobbaHobba: i would much rather u give 1 bud now i deposit then we repeat
MobbaHobba: i have good rep
MobbaHobba: u can screeshot everything
MobbaHobba: but ve been scammed too much
Nick: I'm not willing to go first sorry, you shouldn't be worried about me scamming you, im open to using a middleman if you honestly dont trust me
MobbaHobba: u have never been scammed and lost so much
Nick: You dont know that
MobbaHobba: i reason with u to trust me in having good rep and trying to buy items
MobbaHobba: take as much evidence as necassary
Nick: evidence doesnt matter, valve can't bring back items that have been traded through paypal
MobbaHobba: u wont need it but take evidennce and pics and whatever u need to do to ensure tht u trust me please im askig u
MobbaHobba: imediatly after trade i press send and u will reecieve the money
Nick: I will not go first, and i will not change my mind, and its as simple as that, if you wont even trust me to sell you a bud then you'll need to find someone else
MobbaHobba: how bout this
MobbaHobba: i send 15 dollars now
MobbaHobba: and after the trade i send the rest
Nick: I know what your going to say
MobbaHobba: is tht fair enough
Nick: no, paypal thinks thats fishy, they will lock my account
MobbaHobba: ive done it numerous amounts of times
MobbaHobba: i send half now and half after trade
Nick: ive had this conversation tons of times, and ive had to explain myself to paypal
MobbaHobba: ill send half now meaning u have the power to run
Nick: Yes but then i give you the bud
Nick: and then if you run
Nick: then im out of half a bud
Nick: Do you want to talk to a guy i traded yesterday?
MobbaHobba: tht wont happen im taking the intiatave here by sendin money up front
MobbaHobba: so it shows im serious
Nick: i can should you the paypal history and everything else, talk to him and he will tell you im trustworthy
MobbaHobba: can u please use my sugestion
MobbaHobba: it works and
MobbaHobba: im paying half up front
MobbaHobba: giving u power
Nick: ok wait
Nick: you want 2 correct?
MobbaHobba: maybe
Nick: ok how about this
Nick: you give me 20, i give you a bud then you give me 60 (for the other 20 from the first bud and 40 from the 2nd bud) and then ill give you the 2nd bud
MobbaHobba: for now lets just do 1 because i dont express complete confidess in tht
MobbaHobba: ill give 15 then u give 1
MobbaHobba: then i give 65 then u give second
Nick: 15 isnt half the bud, give me 20 and ill give you the bud

MobbaHobba has accepted your request to trade.
Nick: after we trade you need to send um
MobbaHobba: yes
Nick: 25.50
Nick: Make sure you pay the fee
MobbaHobba: ok
Nick: ready?
MobbaHobba: ok sending money now
Nick: have you sent it?
Nick: hello?
MobbaHobba is not available to trade. More information will be shown to MobbaHobba if they invite you to trade.

Here are some possibly important pictures:
His Friend's List during the trade: http://puu.sh/3TXJv/07fb314c12.jpg
His backpack showing that he received the bud: http://puu.sh/3TXJ7/f951eb4144.jpg
My inventory history, showing that I traded the bud to him: http://puu.sh/3TY4Z/2d70638043.png
Paypal history showing I recieved the $14.50: http://puu.sh/3TYll/15c8792532.png

He has not messaged me yet, if he ever does, and pay for the rest of the bud, ill close this thread.

Hello there! Thanks for submitting this report. Can you upload your screenshots directly to SteamRep via Upload a File button aswell as upload a screenshot of the chat you had with him? Thanks!

He just changed his profile completely: http://puu.sh/3TZbG/f00d1edb1c.jpg

Sure, also the bud is now out of his inventory

Hello, can you provide a screenshot of your paypal history showing you didn't receive the payment?
Also your trading history

That would be someone impersonating me (I'm the real MobbaHobba)

There you go

Don't know if you received my steam message but can you please remove "MobbaHobba" from the title of the report if possible, as it wasn't actually me that scammed you but an impersonator. It looks really bad for me if someone goes to do a reputation check on me.

Just received an add from the scammer they were trying to sell me their bp and said that it was his friend who was the impersonator which is obviously a lie. http://puu.sh/3UgaR.png

That would work!
An SR admin will review this in a while!
