Title: [WTB] 3BTC for multiple payment options
Post by: Xin Zhao on August 05, 2013, 04:13:09 AM
Hey forum,

   I am looking for 3bitcoins total for moneygram, moneypal, or paypal. I might be able to do another option but for now those are the readily available options. Shoot me a PM and I will contact John K for escrow once we agree on a rate. If you have any questions or concerns you can post here or send me a message.

Why are people being ripped off when you have offers including escrow here?

I've never used MoneyGram.  If I can get cash in hand from MoneyGram without it going through my bank account, paypal, or debit card, then I'd be willing to sell 3 BTC.  I'll look into MoneyGram today and see what I can learn about it.

Other payment options I'd be willing to accept:

  • Face-to-face cash exchange
  • Cash in mail
  • U.S. postal money order
  • Western Union

Moneygram is essentially the same thing as Western Union, except I think the fees are a little higher. Let me know how you would like to proceed.

No moneygram's fees are less than western union's fees and yes it's same as WU.

Let me know how you would like to proceed.

If you are willing to use any of the payment methods I listed, let me know. I'm ready to proceed immediately.

If you insist on MoneyGram, then I'll get back to you later today (in the next 12 hours) after I've had a chance to look into where I could pick up the cash.

Alright, I found a local place to pick up the cash.

If I receive $330 from MoneyGram, I'll send you 3 BTC.

Will you send first, or will you be contacting John K. for escrow?

I am fine with Western union as an option. Although face to face would be kind of neat, you live close to NYC?

PM me rates and sending information. Please let me know what payment option is the least expensive fee. Ex. some people charge 10%+ for paypal but moneypak is only 5%.

You have reputation sufficient for this trade. I agree with that rate.

Please PM me sending information. I will PM you when I am leaving, still need to get around. Thanks!

Your choice, I can do MoneyGram or Western Union.  I have cash pickup locations for both nearby, so whichever works better for you.  As long as I receive $330 when I pick up the cash, I don't care which you use.

Unfortunately I'm in the Chicago area, so unless you have friends or family in the area that can meet me to give me the cash, face-to-face probably isn't going to work.

I'll PM you the sending information

I actually do have family there, but that defeats the purpose of me having the experience. Not like it would be any special occasion, but it would be neat.

Not sure what happened. Five hours ago I heard from Xin Zhao (via PM) that they were headed out to send the cash and would send me the claim number. Then all communication stopped. If they return I may be offline, but I'll collect the cash and send the bitcoins as soon as I'm back online.

Same thing happen to me except I already send him BTC and never receive the cash.
