Title: buying 1 BTC with PayPal
Post by: iamthelittleone on July 04, 2011, 07:15:44 AM
Hi,

I am quite new to bitcoins, and am currently trying to mine some,
but, it takes lots of time, and I dont want to wait.

So, I wan to buy 1 BTC from anyone, and I will pay with PayPal.

If you are interested, you can PM me, or if you have more questions or suggestions, reply to this post.

You aren't going to get any sales with PayPal as your payment method. :P

Why not PayPal?

Thanks for the link! I was scammed out of 5BTC earlier this week and that link answered some questions I had.

You could get your bitcoins through Virwox, making your payment with paypal (or even bank transfer)

True, but they have a limit using paypal and you'll be overpaying. Setting up a Dwolla account and transferring funds to an exchange is another option but it lags.

I can see why people are nervous about selling bitcoins (or anything, for that matter) via paypal.  However, I have to agree with what some have mentioned - in all my experience on ebay & other online sales, very rarely has anyone tried to commit fraud, and I have never lost any money or merchandise in almost 10 years.  Just because it's possible for someone to get away with fraud, doesn't mean that everyone is going to do it.

That said, if the OP still wants to buy 1 BTC via PayPal, I'm game.  PM me and we can exchange details.

Jon

Paypal is not a good idea!
