Traded with a PayPal scammer before he was banned

[penguin sandvich]

Hi, 

 

I recently purchased an electrostatic blighted beak from a guy named Communist Tim (https://backpack.tf/u/76561198338926134). Now, as you can see, he's been banned for a PayPal scam which (I assume) happened to the item in question. The problem, however, is that he was only marked as DO NOT TRADE (and banned) after I had traded with him.

 

For reference, I bought the beak on the 20th March, and he was banned yesterday.

 

Could I be banned for this if it was not obvious he scammed it?

Pretty sure you won't get banned, since they usually ban for repeated trades with known scammers. A warning is supposed to be given first lest you blatantly did so with full realization. If it wasn't marked yet then i believe it's still good on your end (don't quote me) still just be cautious for activity

If he wasn't marked when you did it, and it wasn't obvious he was a scammer, you're fine

Even if it was obvious scammer ALT you'd still be fine. Some big traders like naknak or andrew prove it again and again.
