Bitcoin Forum

Brand new to Bitcoin forum and I am interested in trading.

I was getting my bitcoin from Bitquick.co, but they are down for an undetermined amount of time.

From what I have read Paypal is not the preferred method of payment, what is preferred?  Is there an escrow option? How do I earn trust of others being brand new?

If this is not the proper place to ask these questions I apologize in advance.

you can try to use  western union or money gram, and here are a lot of escrow service, do not do any deal with out escrow

Escrow does not help with reversible payment options. Start by contacting established traders here and see what their accepted options are.

Trading discussion is here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=8.0

Paypal is risky so people trade paypal with only trusted member  :)

Go to Virwox and exchange your Paypal there, it will save your time.

Virwox have extremely high fees.

Better is looking for high trusted user here on bitcointalk. Don't trust "Newbies" - only users that have long trade history.
