You're just setting yourself up for scams. PayPal is reversible, I could simply claim that I did not receive the virtual funds.

What if  I already cashed out the money?

Your proof is worth nothing for Paypal. They always charge the money back if someone claims his account was "hacked" and you will get an automatic email telling you to fix your negative balance, thus actually helping the scammer. I'm currently going through that process. You will find numerous threads here and elsewhere about it. If you want to be sure to get your money and keep it, don't use Paypal, never.

Not being rude, and I've talked to you via PM's but...I'm agreeing with people here.
Not only will paypal reverse the funds, but they will:
-Freeze your's and your trader's account
-Contact you once or twice a day for a week (then over time it kind of goes down)
-After about a year, they will contact your bank

...and that's about as far as I've gotten so far. I believe they will suspend anyone suspected to be using Bitcoins.
I do wish you the best of luck though!

It does not matter if you've already cashed out the money. If you having outside funding sources, they will not let you remove them until your negative balance is all paid up.

I still have a positive $234 in my Paypal, but it's frozen.

Yeah... Paypal isn't really the most secure payment method.

BTC+Paypal is setting yourself up for failure.  Search for coincard on this forum and you'll see just how bad it is.

But if you could fill an account with your PayPal account once and with that prepaided account buying Bitcoins?


-------------

This website violates ToS of PayPal for selling bitcoins (now it's a violation) and promotes another thing that PayPal hates: Pyramids!

Sounds like a bad idea to use paypal if they have a policy of not allowing bitcoin trades and exchanges over their network. It's a competition game, and a dirty one at that, and paypal always wins. They have the lawyers and the conditions of use tweaked so whatever you do they can best you. Freeze account, take your money, report you... I would rather stay away from them.

Well..I lost 15 cents in issuing refunds. (Do to the overwhelming negative comments on the topic.) But I really like running sites. Any ideas?

PayPal also took .35 cents out of a 1.31 sale, greedy bastards.
