What is the dispute about?
Sold my steam account with lost ark, and after a week buyer issued a Paypal charge back without any communication at all and PayPal left me with a negative balance. I realized he also deleted me from discord, which we used to live stream and verify steam account username before trading under the instructions of the official epicnpc middleman.

Banned - Scammer https://www.epicnpc.com/threads/chargeback-scam-for-steam-account.2453580/
I offered him the account back still waiting to hear back
 
Only staff can view this content.

Chatlogs attached, hidden setting as it contains sensitive info (steam name etc).

He refuses to return the chargeback and keeps offering the account back, but firstly it has way less gold than what I sold to him (moderator can cross reference my linked deal thread in first post and chat logs I just attached), and second I never got any messages or agreed to any refunds before he went directly to Paypal and issued the chargeback.

Now he says he "don't have enough time to play" and is only willing to return the account, which is of course worth much less due to time passed and the gold + resources that he sold or used up in-game. Isn't this clearly a scam attempt? I just want my money back. Moderator please advise.
 
So chargeback was issued because the buyer find out that he is bored to play. Something like this is highly against rules and is considered as scam attempt.

@venomsg you can take your account back and @hondurian98 will be banned from this website. We do not need members like him.
 
Yup been messaging the guy to get him to return it but he has been ignoring me for the last 2 days, so I'm in the process of going through Steam support directly.

@Angel Thank you for your help so far, just have few last questions. Am I able to get anything from the victim fund? I still lost $1000 after using trade guardian, and even best case scenario I just get back an empty account the scammer already ruined. Or is there any way to recoup my losses from Paypal?
