lookism scamed me for $200, we agreed that he will sell me 1 btc and I will pay in 3 separate payments with paypal. After I sent him first payment of 200$ he came up with lot's of excuses, like he is cleaning kitchen right now, etc. and said that he will send the bitcoins later, but after waiting more than an hour he didn't send me anything. I have logs of our conversation, if moderators need them I will send it. To all users please be aware and don't do business with this guy.

You didn't read his Trust?

When the subject of buying BTC with Paypal comes up, I often remember this:

File a claim with Paypal that you didn't receive your goods. You may or may not have success given it's digital goods.

Don't send any money to anyone up front. You are asking to be scammed. Also, only a scammer would likely accept paypal payment  Cool

Your best bet is to file a charge back with Paypal.  Next time just use a trusted exchange platform.

Don't worry. I predict that he'll gradually stop using that account starting, oh, right about now.
