Title: Want to buy Bitcoins with my PayPal.
Post by: rszibele on February 23, 2015, 09:32:07 AM
Hello,

I'd like to buy Bitcoins with my PayPal account. I have 40$ at my disposal and would like to buy at the current market rate. I've been referred here from my previous thread in the Beginner & Help section https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=964750.0 .

If you are a trusted member then I will go first and send via. gift or normal send with a note stating "I received the goods." (your choice). If you are not a trusted member and would like to sell me your BTC then you will have to organize an escrow or go first.

I'd be more comfortable doing multiple small transactions ~10$ rather than doing the whole thing at once, as I've never done this before.

EDIT: Spent 5$, so only have 40$ left.

That could work I guess (I mean for the note saying "received goods" ) .
But one question , the funds are on your Paypal account or from a Credit card related to your Paypal account ? because Credit card payment can be easily chargebacked if you contact the Company . (Payoneer ,Neteller, etc ... ) .

My funds are from linkbucks.com (http://linkbucks.com), I do not have any credit card or bank account associated with my PayPal. I can also prove it with screenshots in a pm, from both PayPal and Linkbucks.

most users here don't deal with paypal because you can request a chargeback later after you have received your bitcoins
better find a offline local seller and buy with cash

There is no way OP can buy with cash since he said his account is not related to Credit Card or BANK ACCOUNT so he can't really withraw that money to physical cash.

hey there, pls take a look at this thread :)

Money sent through PayPal and any other money transfer service that accepts credit cards can be easily reversed by the sender, even after several weeks. Therefore, you should only accept PayPal in trades with people you trust very highly.

This is why newbies are not likely to sell their PayPal USD for bitcoins successfully.

Some other services that are not totally safe:
- Bank transfers (ACH, etc.) except wire transfers
- Most gift cards.
- Moneypak
- AlertPay
- Paysafecards
- Dwolla
- Western Union (they reportedly will sue the recipient to recover money in some cases)
