You'll have to send the money with the "friends & family" alternative, so there will be no chargebacks.

[7:37 AM]
Thots & Prayers:
Well thats why I was hoping we could do invoice. That way both you and I have the record of transaction and what it is for. Then you and I record each other making the trade to protect both sides
Sorry, meant record of the money transaction and what its for. I use invoices for when I sell figures to people online

Here is the full image of part 2 just in case.

I am very sorry i missed that part. I think I did it right, first pic is showing that I added him to friends (He changed his name to Lejon) and second pic is me hovering over his name and you can see the bottom left is the link to his steam profile. If you need anything else I'll happily provide it.

Here you go, I made remade the previous photos but in the steam client this time.

Hello boys and girls!

The pictures have been modified, your report on backpack.tf got taken down!

Don't worry Lejon, I am in the process of filing a report with them too. Context - I didn't make a report on backpack.tf as Lejon claims, I left a negative user rating and that was removed as I didn't add my evidence to it. A moderator is working with me at this moment to make sure everything is filed.

Thats because I didn't make a report on backpack.tf, I did however leave a negative trust for his user account but I didn't leave any evidence (Didn't know I had too, figured it was just a comment on his backpack profile). Here is a picture of my current chat with the moderator discussing the removal of my negative feedback.

Oh thank you for the warning! I was waiting for the moderator reply but was only going to wait a short while. I have not submitted that report so we should be all good to proceed here.

we never opened up a trade, i only sent him a trade request after the payment was confirmed. I know you say not to show the trade offer but it is the only evidence of the trade being attempted on steam that I have. I'll upload my fullpage trade history and the trade offer just to prove what I'm saying. Paypal activity is also posted.

Yes, I started the paypal dispute process immediately after being blocked. Would you also like a picture of the email you get when an invoice is sent to your paypal email? It should be time stamped or at the very least date stamped.
