Title: Wanting to Buy...
Post by: Seanzqt on November 12, 2013, 05:28:40 AM
Hello Forumers  ;D

I want to buy a BitCoin, I have $500 at hand ready to pay via PayPal.

Who is selling 'a' BitCoin?

Because PayPal is reversible and Bitcoin is not, it is very hard to get anyone to sell you Bitcoin for PayPal.  You might try offering a less reversible form of payment.

Good luck.

If we are talking anything, it is all called 'risk'  :o

I do not plan on doing a charge-back, it looks bad on my name if I was to do one through American Express.

I would only deal with PayPal.

No one will take that risk.

Could I use PayPal with Escrow?

Things are the same even if you escrow

You can easily dispute and reverse the funds

Ah, I see  :'(

All I want to do is buy some coins, I have a few people IM me with offers and images to prove they are legit!

I guess it is a matter of sifting out the innocent souls to finding the legit sellers - they claiming to have 19-20 Bitcoins, flashing their PayPal address, red flags.

I may not have a reputation here yet, though as a business model I cannot be seen in bad lighting.

Any-who will keep trying  :P
