What happened? Description:

I posted a trade on /r/GlobalOffensiveTrade stating that I had $50 in PayPal, and I wanted to buy CS:GO Keys at $2.08 a key. ZiCu added me and said that he wanted to sell me keys at $2.08. I trusted him because we had 2 mutual friends, and he had a cash rep thread (http://steamcommunity.com/groups/CSGOREPorts/discussions/5/364039785161915375/?ctp=8). I stated that I would go first, so I sent him $52 USD in exchange for 25 keys. It converted to Euros, his currency, and he said he needed USD. He refunded the money, however it's still pending, meaning he could change that at any point. Next, I sent him another $52 USD still for the keys, upon which receiving, he blocked me and my trade offer to him became invalid. I submitted an invoice to him, which he will most likely not accept.​

I cropped the Paypal information, because I'm not giving out my bank account info or name.​

Sorry about that.

I've reported the incident to PayPal. Due to the fact I sent it as family and friends, I couldn't take back the charges. I'll know if I have the money or if he does in a week.
