Why do people persist in using Paypal? How many losses does it take for that to sink in?

OP, you will need to take a screenshot and post it here.

It was a small deal, experimental. I still though selected one that had lot of posts and some reputation.

I don't have a reputation myself here so I had to make small deals to gain some trust.

It clearly look like a sold/hacked/farmed account. Trust is from 2014 so I never would have done anything first for this guy. He hasn't been active in a long time then all of a sudden starts posting in March / April 2016.. I just doesn't look like a legitimate account anymore.

I've got almost immediately contacted by this user after the first scam, https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=205915

The message uses the same syntax and his last posts before today are from last year so I suspect that it's the same person.
