If you can gain the individual buyers trust, you can send them a micro amount first, and then ask them to put the following into Paypals message box, as the buyer pays.....
""" I have received the BTC to my wallet xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
As agreed, here is my payment for the transaction. Thank you. """
Once paid, you then send the remainder btc.
It gives you an irrefutable statement of a two way transaction which of course is backed up by blockchain. However, its not easy to convince innocent buyers to do this, and also, it wont cover you (i think), if the buyer turned out to be a scammer controlling a hacked account.
Yea but the buyer can always dispute as a unauthorized transaction, has experience with these daily when trading in the virtual goods market. |

Yea, MTGOX is killing me. I am so far back in the line, it isn't very UK friendly either so transferring funds is pretty hard.

Look out mate, don't sell to any website that doesn't seem legit. They have the chance to charge back their payment up to 180 days if they funded with a credit card. Attempt to get someone to give you money with a Moneypak if you can as they can't be charge backed. If you need anymore help on how to trade safely with different methods feel free to PM me.

Does anyone know how to enter a private address of a coin into a wallet.
|
|

Hey guys,
Was just wondering does anyone know a well established company in the UK where I can get my hands on mostly silver, maybe a bit of gold. Online would be nice, or even in person as I live pretty closed to central London.

Seems like a real address, maybe see if you can get a contact number and give him a call.

Careful buddy, try get someone to give you a Moneypak code if you are from the USA and can put your SSN into PayPal to avoid any chargebacks.

MTGox scares me a little, all these market sites going under. I have money that I can technically afford to loose if Bitcoin did go under and fail but I would rather not get it lost trying to buy coins and then the site going down with my money. I do get offers for UK-BT but they are pretty over priced, hey in a years time I could look back and think wow I got offered coins that cheap why didn't I take it. But that's the fun of Bitcoin ay, never know what is going to happen.

I am from the UK also, trying to buy some BitCoins is driving me nuts lol.
|
|
|
|
|
Sucks man, hope this doesn't put you off BitCoins.
|
|

|

Hey,
Looking to buy around 5 coins for UK-BT, would also be possible to meet up if you're from London but that's another story.
If you can offer me good prices, no huge percentages and willing to maybe use Escrow if your reputation isn't big.
Thanks guys, and happy Bitcoining.

Are you sure they have actually started to refund customers yet.
|
|

|

Isn't that scary for people with huge amounts of coins.
|
|
|
|
|
Only really trust Bitcoins in my own personal wallet. With all these sites going down and hackings seems to safest way.
|
|
|
|

Awesome, nice use for Bitcoins. Bring on the future.

Just curious, say.
I had 5000 coins, I put them into a cold wallet. If some how the cold wallet's address was the same as a wallet already online on someone's PC if they decide to make that wallet come online would all the coins on the cold wallet get transferred to the online wallet.
|
|
|
|
|
OK, I kind of understand the whole cold wallet and hot wallet thing. But say if the odds really did happen and someone had a cold wallet with 1000 Coins and then someone had a Online already in the blockchain wallet with 50 coins. If someone connected that cold wallet to the internet would the 1000 coins go to the other guys wallet with 50.
