After using localcryptos (A trusted service I've used multiple times to transact crypto) To find a paypal buyer for my cryptocurrency I begun a transaction of around £600 of cryptocurrency in bitcoin. After receiving the payment on my end and releasing the btc from escrow I received an email that a dispute has been made to get their funds back? If they win this case will I be left with a negative balance and forced to pay for what a scammer as done?

Hello @CzarPup,
Welcome to PayPal Community! I understand that you are concerned with a dispute filed against you. I know this can be concerning and I will do my best to assist. Typically, when a dispute is filed, you will receive an email notification with more details. If additional action or information is required, the email will include a specific date to have this information submitted. Once all information is received, the case will be investigated and you will receive an update notification when an outcome has been decided.

I hope this helps!
