I started a thread a couple of years ago similar to this one, because gameristo has been known to use multiple PayPal accounts and to send PayPal funds to you before any deal is struck (at least that's happened to me before). Now, there could be legitimate reasons why he has control over multiple PayPal accounts, but that's something that always bugged me.

And I got a warning from PayPal not too long ago saying that the friends & family payment method was not to be used for purchases/sales, and I took that seriously. Gameristo is otherwise completely trustworthy as far as him not scamming you, because there were a few times when he surely could have but didn't. I'm not sure I agree with everything OP is recommending here, but definitely use caution--not just with gameristo, but with everyone you're trading with.

yes absolutely, just to note, I have only recently been receiving funds without prior agreement, but again I was ok with this as I look for regular traders, so this should have raised flags for me, but I confess it was convenient and did not look further into this, but your correct about that point, and secondly, again yes, I have not been scammed, as I have noted in his trust as a warning only, and for people to read this thread first, I suppose my issue is, if funds are 100% legit (as advertised) then I should not have had a closed account, or is this a case of the money is ok, but the accounts used are not? my account was 99% IRL trades, with only a small amount selling BTC, with excellent standing, so to go from that to account closed is a little more than annoying.

both the payments in question are small and from the same account, one he has used many times before, So there is a real possibility that he has lost one of his main accounts as well.

personally though I am shafted, I used my real PP account fully verified and longstanding, I have over 2k stuck in there, and a further 9k in limbo, the money left friends (IRL) account and I cant confirm money as I have been locked out, I know eventually it will get sorted, I have to set up another account and wait 6 months before I can clam anything left, If any of the other payments have been charged back, I thought I was quite a sensible person, but again this is here as more of a warning, hence the title, but scam accusations thread was the best place I could find for this.
