Yes sure! Then ask a very trusted member to access your account and verify everything 

EcuaMobi is an alternate account of thatstinks.

An untrusted account using a trusted account to scam. Indeed this is very interesting.
A very new type of PayPal scam.
Will definitely be reporting this scam to PayPal.

Thank you thank you thank you!

So now that there is proof I am not lying and the seller never sent to the right address (if he tried at all) does that mean you will honor your word Ninjahitoko and refund me or send my 1 BTC + $14 or 1.04 BTC?

I am not holding my breath but I hope he sends it and I don't have to fight with pp.

Despite being online after my previous post OP hasn't replied. Thatstinks has and I've accessed his account. What I can find is this:


I find the sent address was 1DnYnC6JKfFh7BgvmT4pbhMZqZhG9MDFRp which doesn't have any balance at the moment. I can't find any message with the address 1FzeEZfYzfGkegcF2c4TSE11Zbz5kmhfD4, which of course could have been deleted, but I doubt it.

I also found this interesting message:

This transaction sends 0.34534362 to the address 14scb34BPBeNx8pkS6tSrqn6f77A1v4kiQ and 0.65455638 as change to itself (1FzeEZfYzfGkegcF2c4TSE11Zbz5kmhfD4). This confirms OP is lying.

Here's the full conversation I can find at the moment:

OP, if you think an important message was deleted by thatstinks feel free to allow me temporal access to your account.

Alright sent you a PM, feel free to expose this guy as not just a thief but a thief who then tries to blame the victim and photo shopped that address and paypal "Hold". I mean I am reading his snap shots and he even added words and phrases I never use...this guy went the extra mile to steal $514 I tell you that much.

The absolute boldness of his lies is unmatched...I mean he is crying chargeback when no dispute or charge back has been started even, I am holding out hope (foolishly perhaps) so he is caught in yet another lie.

Either report the PM where he sends you his BTC address (https://i.imgur.com/cWdA0lH.png) and ask an admin to confirm it's legit
or grant a trusted member temporal access to your account to confirm it.

If you want I can confirm whether that PM is legit or not. If you agree encrypt your account password here https://keybase.io/encrypt#ecuamobi and PM it to me.

Once you prove that PM is legit you need to sign a message with the address 1PTSLTsCgiT9nM3NCvh7bBK7NhA65myNZj to prove you're the one who sent that BTC.

I did not know chargebacks were so easy to do.

why did you accept paypal in first place? 

WHAT HAPPENED
This user "Thatstinks" is probably the most creative scammer I have ever encountered.

Here is the story.
"Thatstinks" sent me $514 through PayPal. In return I sent him 1 Bitcoin as agreed upon. At the time this was worth around $440. Soon after the transaction this user was messaging me pretending to have not received the 1 Bitcoin. I was confused and did not know what he was saying. He then went on to file a scam accusation against me. I was utterly confused and I went to bed. The next morning I opened my PayPal account and learned that he had filed a claim against me. He sent me a message telling me that the claim included a document which contained a link to the scam accusation, and screenshots of our Bitcointalk conversation. He did all this to make me look like a scammer, so he could reverse the transaction.

When I called up PayPal they told me that the user had filed a special claim where PayPal will investigate and decide the outcome. The user then went on to spam my selling thread with negative comments acting as if he had been scammed, while providing no proof that he had been scammed.
He will most probably win the claim, so at this point I can affirmatively say that I have been scammed.

The other transaction was a transaction to my other Bitcoin wallet, it was my personal transaction.


ADDITIONAL NOTES
