Title: Re: buying bitcoins with PayPal 72hour hold safe? Post by: vm1990 on April 28, 2013, 07:50:09 PM nope the account hacked trick still works all the way up to 30 days and sometimes longer... if you have to buy bitcoin with paypal then you need to be a very trusted person as the seller takes all the risks. i use paypal as little as possible for selling bitcoins unless its someone iv done many many trades with and i trust alot
if your a buyer then your a bit safer but you will pay a premium most of the time Title: Re: buying bitcoins with PayPal 72hour hold safe? Post by: The_Authorities on April 28, 2013, 08:01:42 PM Totally, done it numerous times, buy with confidence.

Post by: dino_saur on April 29, 2013, 12:02:16 PM bought through paypal multiple times. good for buyer if you don't mind the higher price. bad for seller I assume vis a vis fraud/chargebacks etc.
