Bitcoin Forum

I've been freelancing for a while and been accepting crypto directly from my clients and everything is good but recently I want to expand my work and work more hours and I want to add more convenience to my clients by accepting Paypal but unfortunately Paypal in my country sucks because the banks won't accept payment from it unless I 'prove' I'm a businessman with and even then they will only issue cards with $500 limits so I won't be able to charge my clients more than that.
My question is, Is there a trusted website that can handle this for me? where I give them the websites Paypal and they receive the money and then send it to me on crypto?


If you are wondering what I do I freelance web design and development started on websites like warriorfourm and TBN.
           

The service you were asking is not escrow, escrow means you have a middle man between sender and receiver as a trusted person and not sure is there such kind of service you lookig that is crypto to PayPal,maybe you can ask the help at currency exchange section.

As what above posts mentions, its not escrow's work but you can still approach them.

Instead, you have to find people to exchange your paypal to crypto in currency exchange (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=53.0) of the forum or localbitcoins.com, but of course you have to be aware from scammers and high rates.
Only deal to highly trusted person, always visit their trust feedback.

If this is only your concern, why don't you accept a direct payment from crypto?

I think you could try with BitPay because I have a friend using BitPay service to make a transaction with his client. Besides that, I have other friends who bought a product from one website which is using BitPay and viabox.com which is connected with BitPay too. But I don't know much things about Bitpay and Viabox, and maybe you can search on your own.

You can try some services that allow you to create an account and then transfer to cryptocurrencies like Skrill.
If you want to accept PayPal only you can ask any trusted member or try "Bitify.com PayPal to Bitcoin" After the completion of the work offer a conversion request, give the customer a PayPal address "of Bitify.com seller" and the transfer is made to your wallet.

I personally bought product which needed to pay using Bitcoin. They only accept BitPay. First I thought I will get a Bitcoin address to pay but it was like a link. I tried with Electrum but failed. So I had to install Bitpay > transfer balance to my Electrum to Bitpay. Then I was able to pay.

Now this thing gone over my head. Why would I needed to use only BitPay?

The solution that I can think of is by just simply accepting payments through crypto or you are the one that will convert it into crypto. I don't understand the policy of your bank, there's no need for you to verify that you are a businessman just to avail and use PayPal. But if they insist to do that, you can file a form of yourself as a businessman by being a freelancer. Here in my country, many freelancers are filing for a permit as a businessman themselves, freelancing job as business.

Escrow is different thing and it was already explained here but for you it's better to exchange paypal to crypto, in this task you'll may have a need of escrow, depends on with whom you'll exchange. Always exchange your coins with trusted membets here, only some + doesn't mean he/she won't lie, check carefully every user or use escrow but this will take some fees which I think isn't a good deal. Or you can also offer others to buy things with paypal and for this ask them to pay in crypto.

Maybe you can read the whole thread again, not just the subject/title. It's obvious that escrow is not what OP's looking.   

As far as I know, I'm not familiar with any websites that will do that.

Why not directly received the money in fiat and then you exchange it to crypto yourself? As least you have full control of everything instead of looking for that kind of service?

I'm also a freelancer and that's what I do. Clients pay me directly, and then I would just buy crypto in a exchange platform. Easy as that.

I would suggest that you use https://paxful.com or localbitcoin.com. It would be better if you create the offer. But you will probably have to build some trust. Here in the forum some people have tried to seel too. But it is very difficult because Paypal is reversible so people are afraid to do this trade.

Well said, these service platforms can be used in a much effective manner for your needs. Probably at first you need to make a trade changing the PayPal balance into bitcoin. Further the same bitcoin can be directly cashed out for cash being deposited to your personal bank account. Everywhere complications is there, it is you who overcome it.

Please stay away from Bitify. These scammers don't reply to emails more than 5 days. I don't recommend their service, keep it away in all costs.

Bitforex is an exchange which engages in nefarious fraud practices to take advantage of unsuspecting crypto projects wanting to list on the exchange and consumers wanting to trade. Projects should avoid listing on this exchange unless they want to lose their funds.
