Title: Hi everyone, joined as i wish to buy bitcoins Post by: jimm45 on August 30, 2013, 02:55:30 PM like the title says i joined today to buy a few bit coins and hopefully make a few buddys doing so.. I was wondering if there is a way to buy with paypal or neteller im in the eu and these two payments methods are all I can/wish to use for now as I only need about 0.6 of a bitcoin.
im sure this is one of the most common questions asked by newbs but i have never bought bitcoins before so I apoligies in advance.

However, please read all the stickys that warn you about using paypal etc.

You might find someone here to sell btc for paypal or net: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=53.0 But always use an escrow. It might be better to use an exchange like bitstamp Title: Re: Hi everyone, joined as i wish to buy bitcoins Post by: jimm45 on August 30, 2013, 03:08:01 PM very quick replies here....

I will check out the links and read up on the paypal scams thanks for the heads up You can't get scammed if you buy btc with paypal, because it is not possible to cancel a BTC payment. So, if you use escrow, you would be safe. The problem? YOU can cancel the paypal payment, up to 180 days after it, by starting a dispute. That's why it will be difficult for you to find someone who will trust you (you are new).

If there is someone in your area you can meet them face to face at a coffee shop near you and buy the bitcoins with cash. |
