Be cautious here.  Not only can the buyer charge you back, Paypal may close your account if they find out you're dealing with BTC.

Yeah, that's why I asked for a trusted seller haha. I don't know if that's enough of a safeguard from these dangers though.

Had you asked yesterday I might have done it, but my Paypal funds from my last job are already headed for my bank.  Just be sure the buyer doesn't add a note mentioning bitcoins and you should be ok for a one-time trade.  Make it a habit or put a public face on it (btc-paypal exchange site or similar) and you will likely get shut down.

Yeah it's not gonna happen too many times. Just in need of some quick money so I thought I'd see who would be willing to help out. Thanks for the warnings though!

I'd be willing to do it, I have an OTC rating of like... 2

But I've been around for a while (about a week before July, but I don't think I had an account until then)

Anyway, if interested, send me a PM
