Well, escrow need to be hold funds for 6 months. It is Paypal chargeback time.
If you agree to find other and more reputed escrow, and wait for 6 month PP chargeback time, we can make a deal. I have few bitcoins for this deal
He cannot chargeback if and only if the both parties will make a deal that using as a friends and family to send the paypal.
Newbie with negative trust rating? Uh oh, be careful who you're dealing with guys. Don't let your hard earned money end up to potential scams like this.
He only got this negative trust on this day from Vod. And its recommended that using an trusted escrow will work.. not other third party escrow.
Friends and family can be chargebacked, not as easy as it is for Goods and services which simply requires proof of delivery (Tracking number for example). It can be chargebacked with the excuse of a compromised account, however, depending on the account it may not be successful.
Supposing I send you $100 through my personal Paypal and then claim my account was compromised, the first thing that will be investigated is the IP logs.
Op will probably be using stolen accounts, so when the owners realize, the IPs will be checked and the money returned to them.
Anyway, just avoid dealing with this guy and we're good.
