I also sent him negative feedback, but he said that he didn't care. He had made a new account already..

Guys, I traded with this guy two times before. Both trades went well. He is a new member, but has some good feedback so I trusted him..
Third trade he offered me a virtual creditcard with $180.00 on it and told me to send 0.1107 BTC now and 0.1 BTC a little later.
I did so, I couldn't check if the balance was really $180.00 as he told me it's a gift card that doesn't have such a feature.
Well, I trusted him so it was ok.. I tried to buy call of duty advanced warfare pre-order x2 but it didn't work, I got a mail that my order got canceled.
I asked him to try it for me, he told me that amazon.com would work fine. He told me that he bought it, but I didn't receive a mail from amazon.
After some time, I received a mail from [email protected] in my spam, it had a warning that the sender couldn't be verified.
It also looked really fake, so I asked him for more proof. He started to come up with dozens of excuses and told me that he forwarded that mail to me.
After some arguing, he agreed to show me his screen via skype. I asked him to look at the original mail from amazon, I noticed that he had just received it 7 minutes ago, looking at his time.
While I had received that mail well over 30 min ago.. so that's wierd.. After I asked him to send me amazon its number so I could verify the purchase by phone, he deleted me on skype and left me negative feedback.
I don't care about the 0.1107 BTC that I lost by getting scammed, but my account got negative feedback now.. How unfair can this be.. I care for my account and tried to have a good reputation..
Now it shows -1
