Title: How to use escrow when buying bitcoins with paypal? Post by: AlexMercer007 on October 27, 2015, 02:07:36 PM I found someone selling bitcoins in cheap prices. I'm about to buy some using paypal but he is asking me to send the money first. So will escrow protect me if he is a scammer? Both me and the seller are not in US, still will escrow help or if escrow doesn't support paypal transactions in other countries than US. Can I still file a dispute and get my money back if I got scammed? Thanx
Edit :- It seems that escrow only support paypal transaction which both buyer and seller are US residents. Title: Re: How to use escrow when buying bitcoins with paypal? Post by: jt byte on October 27, 2015, 02:15:15 PM Well you should ask the escrow about his paypal account.
Where is he from, does it has the paypal verified, is he able to send money etc.. If the escrow is untrusted then you are going to be scammed.

However, no escrow would be beneficial towards the seller as the buyer can chargeback. Vice versa. You can file a dispute but it is not garunteed to succeed as (IIRC) PayPal does not protect transactions associated with cryptocurrencies.Title: Re: How to use escrow when buying bitcoins with paypal?

OP is the one paying for BTC with PP.Where is he from, does it has the paypal verified, is he able to send money etc.. If the escrow is untrusted then you are going to be scammed. @OP this is the second thread asking for the same thing, nevertheless if the other person is surely a scammer or someone who still doesn't know that PP is highly reversible. Just withdraw it to your bank and buy BTC from either cash or Interac transfer or something like that. Title: Re: How to use escrow when buying bitcoins with paypal?

Title: Re: How to use escrow when buying bitcoins with paypal? Post by: AlexMercer007 on October 27, 2015, 03:08:19 PM Yes it's verified. And his blockchain acc has more than 1000 btc. But don't if it's really his.

But don't if it's really his. 99.99% sure its not his, for verification ask him to sign a message from it.Title: Re: How to use escrow when buying bitcoins with paypal? Post by: Mickeyb on October 27, 2015, 10:03:31 PM It's simple, you send money and 99% you will get scammed. Why would someone sell BTCs cheaply and under the market price if he can get more money elsewhere?
Only way you will get protected is if he sends first which he probably won't do by saying that you can always chargeback or if you use an escrow (he sends coins to the escrow) but I doubt he will do this as well.
