What is the dispute about?
He reclaimed access to the gmail account that was supposively secured by the middleman... He then self locked the account through one of the password reset emails (saying it wasn't him who changed the password). He then sent proof of ownership to Steam and now has full control over the steam account again.

Other details / notes:
I reached out to him several times, but he never replied.

@Angel small update from my side. PayPal closed my dispute in my favor and issued a full refund. The large document with all evidence also went to Epic Games and Steam who both confirmed the claims are currently being investigated and appropriate action will be taken. I reported to them to prevent him from scamming anyone else with the account.

The refund was issued by PayPal itself, not by the seller.
