Wow, that sucks.
How do they juice their reputation metrics on HodlHodl? Just trading with themselves, or associates, probably?
Would doing a friends/family (not-cancelable) transaction be preferable?
I don't touch Paypal ever since they had that thing about banning users that promote "misinformation".
I have 2 theories - 1. They did 7 good deals and scammed only the 8th. 2. They created 7 fake accounts to do 7 fake deals on themselves. I know about friends and family stuff but I didn't know how to check it, I just gave my PayPal username and received the money. In any case hodlhodl needs to remove PayPal option.

I know someone who was using paypal to receive payments for a commercial service. He would only accept payments via the Friends and Family setting, which was supposed to be non-cancelable.
If there's a HodlHodl user group or telegram group, maybe you could write up your experience there. Maybe they would have advice

I didn't know you can limit incoming transactions to be friends and family. Hodlhodl already replied to me, there is nothing I can do now but to chase PayPal to prove somehow I'm the good guy and not the other way around.
