This is a valid reason but obviously he should have known the risks. When you first create a new paypal account and receive payment it takes 21 days to clear. If you did not send this as a gift then yes it will take 21 days to clear. The right thing to do would be for him to refund you OR him send the agreed amount to an escrow for 21 days.

If you paid thru PayPal with a credit card you should be able to do a chargeback.  Good luck

Sorry you had to learn the hard way, but out of all the veteran members with reputable trust ratings, you had to pick a guy who just registered a few weeks ago to do business with? Rule #0 in the "How to spot a scammer" thread (https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/edu-how-to-spot-a-scammer-read-this-before-doing-any-transactions-137288) is:

What happened::
Messaged to purchase a small amount of BTC. .2 was agreed.  Sent payment of $160 dollars then he stated that he could not send me any btc since the funds were on hold for 21 days.

Yes i beleive it did but the funds are placed on hold for some reason in my account.


Ok, that's not right.  How about send .1 now then another .1 when it clears. 1.  Funds were sent, maybe it's not for a verified account.  Ran into this before?

How much BTC for $100?  I'm thinking .115.  That's better than the Preev rate. If everything is smooth, then I'll buy a lot more.

I could do .2 for 160$ if you want.

Everything ok?

Nah. It says the payment is on a 21 day hold. Do you mind waiting 21 days? Ill setup a scheduled BTC transaction for then. I tried to process a refund but it would not let me.

Additional Notes: No BTC was ever sent to my address.  So, I disputed the transaction through paypal.
