The plan was for me to buy £150 worth of Bitcoin off of him . The plan is outlined below :

I sent over the first paypal installment . Because this is my first time using paypall , he managed to talk me into sending it as a friend and family payment (makes me realise how stupid I really am )

My bitcoin wallet is still empty and I have recieved no furthur communication from the seller , hence leading me to believe I was scammed.

Thank you for sharing that darkninja.

Biglad - Since you made this report more as a warning to other members, I'll spare you the spiel about how staff are unable to take action against users for scam reports when scams occur off-site. Thank you for sharing your experience. Let this be a warning to anyone doing deals in future.

I did indeed , he proved to me he was a trusted seller on another site and that convinced me not to use a middleman.

Only £7.50 so it's not a major issue . Also can I still do a chargeback if it was a friend's and family transaction?

With your bank?  Sure, probably not worth your time setting it up though unless you can do it online quickly.  You can give PP a call and explain the situation, they sometimes open a case on your behalf that's not unauthorized usage so it's a legit claim based on the truth.  Idk how much it'll be of help once they realize it is an online only related transaction (not physically shipping anything).
