I got scammed $30 usd via paypal for M4a4 Asiimov field test

[I'm not half the man I used 2 be]

I just starting to trade cs go lounge and today I'm trying to buy a M4a4 Asiimov for cash on cs lounge. Then, i got this useadd me as friend and offered me to buy his asiimov. We negotiated and agreed at $30 usd and 2 esports cases for his Asiimov. I went ahead and sent my $30 Usd to this email which he said belongs to his gf. Upon receiving my money, he immidiately log out steam chat but I check his profile and it's indicicating that he's playing csgo game atm. I can't even re-add him as a friend either. What can I do to get back my money?

oops it is the other way around , try getting your money back with paypal.

steam does not support trades outside the trade window.

I just reported him to Steam and I'm gonna send a ticket to Steam support as well. Here is the screenshot of the Paypal transaction:

Only trade items that can be entered into the steam trade window. The items will not be returned as you clicked this is a gift when giving the items away for free.

I suggest reading Steam's trading policy. As you were trading out side the trade system, Support is unlikely to be able to offer any assistance. As spoof said, your best bet is contacting Paypal.

Steam Trading Policy

What should I not trade for?

Do not trade for anything that cannot be added into the trade window within Steam. The most common examples of these scenarios are the following:

• Trading items/gifts for money outside of the Steam Community market. You cannot add wallet credit or any form of money into the trade window. A common example of this is trading for items/gifts in return for money via PayPal.
  
  
• Trading items/gifts for CD Keys. You cannot add a CD Key into the trade window. CD Keys that are offered can be for a different game, fake, used or region restricted. A common example of this trade is trading items/gifts in return for a promotional CD Key that is never given to you.
  
  
• Trading items/gifts for nothing in return in the first trade and expecting to get an item or gift in a later trade. There is no reason to not trade everything in one trade. You may add unlimited items/gifts to a single trade. A common example of this is adding your items/gifts in one trade. Then the other user states that they will trade you their share or the rest of the items/gifts in another trade, but never do.
