Title: A place where they trade using PayPal?
Post by: dikidera on May 01, 2011, 11:46:01 AM
After coincard ndrix is down, i am left with no place that supports paypal.

The reason i need paypal is not only that it is linked with paypal, but i have forgotten my pin number for the card so i can't withdraw money. But if they are in the paypal account i can use them freely.

You can try the IRC channel. Usually someone is there to trade paypal with.

But what about people that may file a dispute and get they're money back, cause paypal can do that.
How do i protect myself from people like that on there?

worse still, it seems that selling bitcoin alone is enough to get the account closed.

#bitcoin-otc (http://www.bitcoin-otc.com/) operates a web of trust (http://www.bitcoin-otc.com/trust.php). Just limit your trades to those with a high rating.

bitmarket.eu supports PayPal, but only when the sellers are accepting it.

I am just wondering - between all places accepting Paypal there is a huge number of trustworthy members. If we:

- get all Paypal email addresses from mndrix that he knows are honest
- get all OTC rating incorporated into the exchange
- get all people having very good forum reputation (from the honest members thread)
- get all people from bitcoinmarket who use Paypal and are honest

We could alter bitmarket to only accept Paypal from these people - and then the sellers would feel comfortable selling for Paypal, because they would know the buyers are verified.

Either that or in order to use Paypal on bitmarket as a buyer you would have to get verified (phonecall, activation code or something similar).

Of course, I don't think this is possible for the simple reason that mndrix and bitcoinmarket are not in a position to disclose such information. But in theory, this could yield in a big OTC portal where Paypal and its chargebacks would not be an issue. Also, we would introduce a rating system.
