Hi! Yes, that's all I need - $36 worth of BTC. ETH would actually be fine, just need it to complete a transaction. I'll send $ first to an established member.

Alternately, if anyone knows where I can buy $36 worth of coins using Paypal or a Paypal debit card, please let me know. Coinbase and Square seem to dislike that card. I would do a cash deposit, but I live in a rural area, and we don't have any of the big banks.

Thanks!

If you can provide valid identification matching your PayPal, as well as accept $28 BTC instead of $36, I can do this.

Hmm. I'm not sure if giving personal information warrants such a small trade online, especially if it's not 1:1. People can do a lot with just one ID nowadays. I'd personally recommend (and I say this too often to count), OP, for you to transfer it out (no cash deposit required) to your bank and then offer a wire transfer up to someone.

1:1 rate from a newbie with this as his/her first post? Nah. Even if you are offering 1:1.2 no one in the right mind will accept your paypal money, 99.9% you will just do chargeback once you get the bitcoins

Sorry for delay in getting back to this. Thanks, petahasher, for your offer. I just ended up completing the transaction in fiat, for sanity's sake. Can't go jeopardizing my security for $36, especially when it becomes $28. And if btc chargebacks are as simply done as some claim (i.e., exchange of Paypal funds for btc is sufficient grounds for reversal), then having my identification wouldn't do much good. Although you could mail me old socks C.O.D. every week or something.


Even if 100% of Paypal -> btc transactions were reversible, far fewer than 999 out of 1000 people would screw someone over like that. I know I wouldn't, but of course, you don't know that. Maybe I'm a very unimaginative criminal, and $36 is the biggest number I could wrap my head around. Maybe I'm just a stickler for details, and that's why I would be especially concerned over exchange rates on a transaction that was going to be reversed. In any case, I wonder if your speculations merited a response at all. Maybe it's some kind of complex? Who knows, let's speculate on more interesting stuff...

You seem like a guy with a solid head on your shoulders, so how about we not go into that? Sure, maybe only 0.1% of people would scam for $36, but those are the people that keep creating new accounts and plaguing people with that exact mentality.

So - I get that you might be feeling like @Lassle was way out of line to offend a newcomer like you, but step back and let's take a look at the bigger picture before you lash back out.
