Yes I can PM you. Glad we could work this out, I'll send John the $250 right now. The other $250 will take a few hours to collect, as I need to raid some other accounts of mine first.

No problem man, this is pretty crazy trying to work out! Moneygram is actually fine with me, so long as you pay the 3% service fee it would take to deposit it into my paypal account.

I suppose to entice such a member here, your "fee" will be $25 that will be given to that member for taking part. $525 worth of Afghan Afghanis for $500 worth of bitcoins still isn't bad.

Ok, I think I've overcomplicated things here, so I'll try to make this as streamlined as possible:

1. To minimize my risk a little, I'll send a very accredited and trustworthy member here two bitcoin installments of $250.
2. You will deposit $250 into two paypal accounts. I will send off the second $250 bitcoin payment when your first payment has been verified.

Boom, problem solved. (And really, the only person risking anything here is me.) You're not going to find a better deal than that, especially in Afghanistan.

Why not that Stephen guy?! Give me an address to send my coins to Stephen, and I'll pass them on to you. If you burn me though, I'll hunt you down...

I've got an idea on how I can prove my funds to you:

1. I PM you a screenshot of my mtgox account(s)
2. You PM me a specific amount of bitcoin (has to be less than .05) that I have to send to your bitcoin wallet within a minute.
3. I then post a screenshot of my revised mtgox.

Honestly man, this is all very dubious indeed, but I feel like we are both in positions to mutually benefit each other. I would not add any fee or anything and your bitcoins would be delivered within 3 hours.

There's still the element of trust that's worrisome, so I'd be willing to send the coins first to an intermediary member here that I know wouldn't scam me.

Wow, Afghanistan?! That might be a problem, as I don't imagine there's a lot of locals selling their bitcoins.

On second thought, I might be able to help you, as that's about the amount I'm looking transfer to paypal in total. I believe I could provide you with very good proof of who I say I am and can give you screenshots of my mtgox account totals.

Let me know what you think.

I'm looking to trade with someone for some paypal cash, are you interested? I was thinking along the lines of a bitcoin or two, nothing more.

Good timing man, I've been struggling to get my bitcoins onto paypal, as the service I used before isn't a viable option anymore.

How would we carry this out in a way that doesn't lead to one of us getting scammed though?
