I could use something like Dwolla/PayPal/MtGox Code to LibertyReserve. :)

Nice features though.

Dwolla, LR and MtGox code should be live within a week or two!

Paypal to anything is gonna take a little longer

Thanks!

Does this effectively mean that we can now pay or send money to anyone in the world who has a paypal account without having a paypal account ourselves?
Presumably the information in the 'payment received' email would be something like 'you've recieved funds from Bitinstant'.
Do BitInstant have any plans in developing this so that there would be relevant information in the email received so that it could be associated with a particular payer (suppose I wanted to buy something from eBay using this - I would need to let the seller know that the payment really is from me even though it came via BitInstant).


Edit - thinking about this further, you seem to have the potential to become a universal payment system for bitcoin users.

Hey, you can essentially choose which paypal email address to send this to, so if you send it to someone with no paypal account, paypal will email them telling them they received money and they can 'claim the funds' by opening an account. I can also put notes in that email other then "Thank you for your order" Right now, you'll have to email me to do that, but if theres a demand for 'custom memo field' we can easily add it.

Thats the game plan!

PayPal (and eBay) allow the buyer to choose any delivery address (I often buy things for my mother on eBay) - presumably if you had a way of entering a delivery address on your site then most sellers wouldn't even care or notice the mechanism of payment delivery and would just delver to the address provided (though it would be an unverified address ).

Hey, I think were talking about 2 different things here.

Right now, you have the ability to send Paypal USD to yourself or anyone you choose. We don't pass along any delivery information.

I've used this service (MTGox code > paypal) a few times now and "instant" is right. Literally seconds from entering the code to hitting my paypal account. This service is so helpful to me, thank you. The fees are really reasonable as well.

I'd say within a week or so.


Unless this is a trade secret, would you mind explaining how you
worked around paypal's general reluctance to deal with BTC ?


Trade Secret and my 10+ year long relationship with them (Which is holding less and less footing as the days go by)

I had a reply from support on 12/28 that it should be back within 48 hours... using paypal was the main attraction (for me atleast) to use bitinstant...

Given that its now been 20 days or so, I'd assume that maybe they didn't skirt the paypal -> btc problem everybody else has...

EDIT: I wish you the best though in getting it back working!

Off  Topic:

I find it fascinating and very telling that, Paypal, one of the most popular (but not well loved)
online transactions services continues to hassle and equivocate with any person or service that
wants to exchange bitcoins.

Is this because the problem with scammers and charge-backs are that bad ?  Or is Paypal just being
a corporate bully?

Paypal is a horrible entity, and virtual currencies are banned under their TOS.

And yes, they are Bullies...

But sometimes.. . they are a necessary evil.
