What happened? Description:

The Accused added me on Oct. 25 to buy 5 CS:GO keys via PayPal. He agreed to go first and the transaction went smooth.
I have messaged him again today to sell some more CS:GO keys. We agreed on me going first with 10 batches of 5 CS:GO keys @ $2 each. I have sent him the first batch and received $10 via PayPal. After receiving the second batch, the Accused blocked me and removed me from his friend list.​

Steam Client doesn't show the Accused steam link in inventory history though. Made a screenshot of that. You can see his link on the lower left corner on the "tradehistory-link.jpg". I'm hovering my mouse pointer over his username, pressing "print screen" and pasting the image to Microsoft Paint. It doesn't show the pointer on the screenshot though. Also included my full inventory history page screenshot.

We only did two trades today though. As you can see from the trade history, I have sent him two trade offers with 5 keys each. He accepted them both, but only sent me the money for the first 5 keys. $10 instead of $20 (since we agreed to do $2 per each key). As you can see from my paypal screenshots, I have only received $10 from him today. And yet I have sent him 10 keys. As for the transactions that happened on the October 25-th, I have sent him 2 keys (via two separate trade offers) and received $4. After that he paid me $6 first and I have sent him 3 keys ($2 each).

So all in all there were 5 trades:
Trade 1 Oct. 25: I have sent one CS:GO key first and received $4 via PayPal in advance for another CS:GO key ($2 per each key)
Trade 2 Oct. 25: Sent one CS:GO key to cover the advance payment
Trade 3 Oct. 25: Sent three CS:GO keys after receiving $6 via PayPal
Oct. 25 summary: 5 CS:GO keys for $10 via PayPal

Trade 4 Oct. 31: I have sent five CS:GO keys first and received $10 via PayPal ($2 per each key)
Trade 5 Oct. 31: Sent five more CS:GO keys and haven't received anything. The Accused blocked me right after receiving the trade offer.
Oct. 31 summary: Received $10 for the first batch of five CS:GO keys and then got blocked without getting paid for the second batch of CS:GO keys.

As you can see from the chat log starting at 00:41, we have agreed on $2 per key. Total number of keys - 50. I have asked the Accused if he could go first and he refused to do so. Then he offered to do ten batches of five keys (meaning I would be sending him five CS:GO keys first and then waiting for the money to be transferred into my PayPal account).

This is where I have sent the first batch of 5 keys and the Accused confirmed the fact that he had sent me the money via PayPal. $10, that is.

This is where I have sent the Accused another batch of 5 keys and he accepted the trade offer, blocking me at the same time. And not sending another $10 for that second batch.
