Title: WTB: Bitcoin for Paypal
Post by: matt090909 on March 04, 2018, 01:39:12 PM
I'm trying to convert approx $2500 Paypal USD to GBP while avoiding Paypal currency conversion fees and convert at the mid-market rate at the time of transaction.

I realise my account is new, I am the owner of this old account https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=25574 which I am currently trying to recover from the 2015 hash leak. I can show screenshots of that account ownership on my gmail and ebay account logged in with over 400+ feedback, alongside other online accounts as proof of credibility.

I was initially looking to do this directly and avoid bitcoins altogether, but it seems like the best way will be to convert my USD to BT then bank transfer out from Coinfloor.

Money is legitimate from ebay sales, I'm not here to mess about with scams or time wasters.

Thanks

So you want to send someone $1500 paypal and want a bank transfer in return?

Yes because I think Paypal probably monitors transactions that look like currency exchange and it could flag my account.

The problem with PayPal is that it is unpredictably reversible with or without your intervention. Without... happens when PayPal suspects something along the lines of a currency exchange transaction which goes against their terms. With... that happens when you dispute the transaction or initiate a charge back after receiving the bank transfer.

As for trust and feedback gained elsewhere, it's difficult to rely on them as indicators of credibility. The forum's trust system is the preferred integrity yardstick here.

Escrow cannot effectively protect anyone doing a PayPal trade because the risk of the payment being reversed defeats the purpose and role of escrow.

Be careful when sending PayPal payments to suspicious and recently opened accounts here or to those without substantial feedback. Scammers will exploit the risk issue as a way to insist that you send first before they do the bank transfer (which they won't do, given they are scammers).

My Paypal account is over 10 years old, I've never had anything randomly held / reversed for as long as I can remember with an account of this age. I have an account on here from 2011 and can prove this with all the old emails I still have on my gmail. Hopefully I will get access back if I ever get a reply.

Thanks for the advice on sending payment.

Bump, now only offering to trade against an ID with a trust rating thanks to scammer terrytangm.
Anyone else looking to trade with ID terrytangm DO NOT PROCEED.
Fortunately managed to claim $500 via Paypal after he cut all contact.

Open to anyone with reputable trade history or good level of forum activity, (yes I know I appear new here but I still have to protect myself).

Bump, change of thread title as now looking for BTC instead of direct bank transfer as this is too difficult for people.
Screenshot of money included in first post.
I am happy to provide details of verification etc to prove legitimacy.

Ideally 1:1.
I already have 0.3% fee from coinfloor, if fees get too high I may as well stick with paypal conversion fees.
