If you add a "Buy it Now" at market value, I'll buy it.

Sorry, but no chance of a market price buy it now. Past research shows that eBay users are willing to pay as much as a 40% premium for BTC.

BTW, Have you had any trouble with Paypal fraud?

They bid over 40% because they can issue a chargeback risk-free, and get your BTC for free.

DONT.  USE.  PAYPAL. FOR BTC.  EVER.

No, but it is a risk that I am aware of. That said there's a good chance the EFF would jump at the chance to sue the balls off Paypal over that. they accept Bitcoin donations, so the media waves (and the changed perception if they win) could send the Bitcoin exchange rate way up. Who knows how many coins EFF has.

Unless something changed, they no longer accept BTC as donation.

At this point they still have thousands of coins, unless they sold recently.

Why do you think PayPal exchanges on bitcoincharts.com continuously have ridiculous prices (even up to $30 while the rest of the market is at $18)?

Use your brain. PayPal is the lowest of the low when it comes to selling or buying online.
Most of these "customers" are poor as shit and will use any excuse possible to get stuff for free online by instant chargeback. They don't care if they get banned later for wrongful CB's.

I wouldn't touch PP with a sterilized 2,000ft wolfram pole. If you do then congratulations on becoming just another good-faithed victim.

PP is only good if both parties already have established some trust (like multi-thousand feedback on a reputable site), but even then there's a risk someone stole the acc.
