What happened? Description:

Accused added me as a friend on Steam and I accepted. Accused then said they wanted to buy an item I had for sale from me directly via PayPal, I was hesitant at first but they added me to a Facebook Group where at least 12 other people vouched for them as a safe trader, and after a Discord conversation where accused explained how the trade would work I trusted them.

I waited 7 days after turning on Steam authenticator to do the trade, with both of us sharing our screens in Discord, with the accused typing my details into PayPal ready to transfer the money. The conversation went on and I was worried the accused did not trust me (I know, I'm stupid) so I went first and sent my item (Driver Gloves, in screenshots). As soon as I did the accused blurted out they were having internet problems and went offline.

After checking my PayPal and emails and finding nothing I realised what had happened, but it was too late to cancel the trade. Accused has removed me as a friend on both Steam and Discord, and I cannot view their profile on Steam, so I presume I have been blocked. All details other are in the screenshots, note the chat history should be read in reverse order (from bottom to top) because I had to find it in my Steam account data.​

Provide Evidence:

Evidence in attached screenshot files, please read Chat History in order, with text at the bottom being oldest and text at top most recent.​

My apologies, which one is edited and unacceptable? I removed things such as when I mentioned my email address and when I said how much I'd previously spent which I didn't want to be visible publicly on the internet here, but if you need any re-uploaded and uncensored let me know which ones are problematic.

'Logs are fine but you would need to show a overlay of the name so it shows the steam ID info or something...otherwise how do we know who is who by ID?'
Sorry again but I don't quite understand this, are you referring to the Chat History logs? If so the current speaker can be seen on the far left (first column), and whom they sent the message to is to the right of that (second column). I couldn't bring up the chat in the original Steam chat window after he'd blocked and unfriended me so I had to use the accountdata page on the Steam website to view chat history.

It looks as though 01 and 03 of the chat logs are missing, so I'll try uploading them again. Thanks for the reply, let me know what needs changing and I'll get to it.
