The do allow it. They allow virtual items/currency, and they said it when we called them. They just don't hand seller or buyer protection, but still allow chargebacks. In this case, PayPal just wants to enjoy the benefits of receiving a good sum, from people getting scammed. I have already cancelled my credit card to fight against the fraud, so they will not be able to charge it. Talked to the credit card company, and they said it seems to be a fraud to them so they allowed cancelling it.

Bitcoin community,

I have been scammed for a few thousand dollars on eBay + PayPal (over 80 BTC). After selling the bitcoins, all of the buyers filed a chargeback, and PayPal returned the whole funds to them out of my account, and on top of all charged me with PayPal and chargeback fees.
I am willing to sue PayPal for the act, and already contacted an attorney who believes we have a claim. We will probably sue them for committing and allowing fraud through their systems, without supervising.
I have contacted PayPal 13 times already, regarding the claims but to no avail.

Since I believe a few others were scammed the same way, I wish to sue as a group against this massive corporation.

Does anyone wish to form a group?

Don't you think that the post-count restriction actually encourages spamming?

The thing is this. On one hand, I want the bitcoin to be widely spread and be available on the every day use. On the other hand, currently, apart from running around in circles and trading bitcoins to fiat and back all over the place, I can't seem to find a use for it. There is no business that accepts bitcoins in my country EXCEPT a current exchange  Grin which is how I got into trading.
Perhaps the better question to ask isn't even about the market value. It does change it, but it's not the goal. The question is "How to spread bitcoins to more businesses" which leads to "How to make it easy for every day use (ie shops, grocery stores, gas stations etc.)".
The only way I can use it for example is either trading, or getting something at a considerably high price (because I transfer from USD to BTC and there are fees) from Bitmit (while ebay is still cheaper).
So... how do we do that?  Tongue

Are you here because you value Bitcoin's properties, or because you want to earn fiat dollars?
I will be honest with you, the reason I'm here is because I really like the idea. I've started putting some initial cash in order to kick-start my wallet. (after-all, no money, no wallet, no bitcoins, now what?)Problem is, that I am worried about the fact that I've spent a *bit* more than my initial 100$ test. I saw the price going up rapidly, and wanted to catch the wave, so I'll have some BTC. Next thing i see, is speculated drops because of the ASIC units. So it makes you wonder, why did you buy so many bitcoins at the high price.

And thank you very much for the long and thoughtful reply mate, I'll continue reading on the spec forum Smiley
The reason I created the post here is because I've read that I'm not allowed to post there.

Thanks again guys!

Hey guys!

My name is Bar. I've entered the Bitcoin market after 6 days of research. I've read about the whole system, from ups and downs, from FBI files to proofs-of-work. 2 days ago, I've decided entering into the market, and in 2 days, I got back my transaction fees. I invested a small amount of 100$ to test it. As of now, I like what I see. Today, I took out the big guns, and ordered a fair amount of Bitcoins. Question is this, what would the guys in here say? Will the market value continue to rise? Will it reach the 30$ like it did once? Will it drop right afterwards or continue to rise up to the sky? What is your forecast guys?  Smiley

I still regret I didn't hear about it earlier, in January when it was a great time to invest.

Many thanks,
Bar
