Title: Best way to sell bitcoins and receive funds?
Post by: djex on April 09, 2011, 10:56:56 PM
Hello, I'm new to bitcoin and mining. I've been reading a lot on the forums and doing my fair share of research about it. One thing I haven't really found was a way to sell bitcoins (on the market or through disposable credit card) and then have the funds put into my paypal account. I see that Mt. Gox uses LibertyReserve but I'm not familiar with that service or even how it works. Also it would seem Mt. Gox only deals with US residents for direct deposit from what I read on their site. I'm from Canada.

I'd like to use paypal since it's already set up for my bank and would make it a lot easier to manage my funds in and out.

What are some recommendations?

I can give you 0.73 USD PP / BTC right now, and I pay all fees
you need to send BTC first, pls send me a PM if interested

You can find many traders at bitcoin-otc.com (#bitcoin-otc on Freenode). You do need to be careful about receiving PayPal though. It's certainly the most convenient method for both sides of a trade, but you want to be sure you can trust the sender to not use a stolen account or file a chargeback claiming they didn't authorize the payment. Bitcoin-otc has a "Web of Trust" where you can see who trusts who.

I can also buy your BTC with PayPal, or you can sell them at MtGox and sell me the MtGox USD (you'd transfer the USD from your account there to mine) for PayPal. I have a good reputation at bitcoin-otc. Gusti is someone I trust as well.

You can elect to have cash deposited to any Canadian bank.

I know that CoinCard (http://coincard.ndrix.com/) does automated BTC->PayPal conversions.

Thanks for the great information.

bitcoin-otc.com and nanaimogold.com looks to be my best options for a quick and easy transfer to a paypal account.

Gusti and Keefe I will keep you two in mind. At the moment I'm not looking to sell but in the near future I will be. Just doing my research first :)

Does CoinCard send the funds to a paypal account or is it only a gift card sort of thing?

If you choose "PayPal payment" from the gift card drop down, CoinCard will send you a PayPal payment after 2 confirmations of your Bitcoin payment.  You pay no fees to receive the PayPal payment.  See the full price list (http://coincard.ndrix.com/page/prices) for further fee details.
