use escrow .never go first .sent a pm
You are right but any escrow will not provide their service for paypal but they may hold btc as escrow. Yet PayPal buyer can be loser as op can reverse the payment.

Yeah, I'm thinking that just further exceeds the risks, by transfering the risk to the escrow, who will receive the PP funds, and by that be the one that's risking a deal dispute.

Guessing there's no easy way, it's about grinding trust, and posts hehe.

Never saw any reply from your side . i have sent pm although

Sorry, but under your profile there's a few people calling you a scammer.
So I wouldn't have the guts to go first, and I'm guessing you won't go first either so yeah.

I have a personal Facebook with lots of friends. I have videos and pictures of me at my local martial arts gym, and my whole family on my Facebook. (Grandma, mom, sister, girlfriend, etc) Would this make a seller more comfortable dealing with me?


Any one can get a false identity and even  fake pictures well this is not to say that you are not legit but this having all that is not concrete enough to prove that  you are authentic. Most seller would love to buy from an exchange but if they are selling to individuals they would prefer to employ the services of an escrow agent

I understand what you mean. However it would be a lot of work to fake. Seeing as I both have my grandma, parents, siblings, cousins, friends, and my local martial arts club that posts pictures and videos with me weekly. Someone might be able to fake all that, but it would be quite a hassle for the "low" amounts I'm looking to exchange hehe.


Why do you need to buy with Paypal? Can you not send it to a bank account? If you don't have a bank account can't you send it to someone who does have one? If you do that the world is your oyster with massively reduced premiums.

Paypal is certifiable cancer to any BTC seller who will price accordingly, if at all.

I could of course. I do have a bank account. I'm selling goods online and accept PayPal payments. Problem is that if I were to withdraw all the money every time, and then wait 5 days and then buy BTC, sending funds to another country. That just seems like quite the hassle if you know what I mean.

I don't think we are in a serious downtrend right now. Many altcoins have already come to lower prices, more price drop if we can experience a serious problem. If we see a bigger crash, prices will reach a much lower level than current prices. We can become a real crisis Sad

I would hate that to happen. I hope that we will enter a bull market soon but I believe that we'll have to wait a bit longer.

Wow, I gamble a lot but that's a crazy amount of money you've lost.
My girlfriend would kill me haha.

Thanks for the replies guys!
Verification is not a problem. The problem is usually the rates that are extremely high.

Understandable reason. If you're not in a rush, try setting up buy offers on LocalBitcoins with prices that you're comfortable with. Best of luck!

Oh, what a nice idea! I'll try that for sure.
Thank you man for the heads up. People are so friendly on these boards. Smiley

I guess , you can try Currency Exchange board. (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=53.0)

or might you try to sell something  using bitcoin.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=51.0

Make sure , you pay attention to the "trust" and forum rank of each user and use some of the trusted escrow from the list in the topic below.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5047302.0

I've tried to create a thread there. I'm not expecting any replies, but now it's there hehe.
Thanks for the tips man! Really appreciate it.
Will remember to check if people has a bad reputation before dealing with them.

Thank you for your reply!
I'm thinking an escrow service wouldn't help much, if the seller is afraid of a potential chargeback?

Well, I called PayPal to hear them, they say that it's impossible to fill a deal dispute if sent as friend and family. Unless the buyer contacts his/her bank and say that their account was stolen. Which of course makes deal disputes harder, but not impossible. I understand this is a really shitty situation.

Thanks for the heads up, I will. I do not feel I have anything to hide though.
I will try to build some relationships here, and stay active.

If anyone wants to chat, or deal with me. Please do not hesitate to contact me. Smiley
Once again, thanks for the detailed response. I really appreciate it!

You are welcome.

I don't blame you but this forum members have seen worse. Scammers are trying to scam people every time. They are taking every chances to walkaway with others money since they can hide their identity.

I am sorry that you are going to have hard time dealing with pp to BTC. If it was BTC you were going to sell then any trusted member could buy it from you.

Anyway, I will see you around and good luck.

Yeah it really sucks that there are people willing to do everything to earn a quick buck. Their own guilt will catch in on them one day.
Don't be! I see it as a journey towards something better. If I was a trusted member I wouldn't deal with someone unknown either.

Yeah I'll see you around, and once again thank you for taking time to reply! Smiley

Is there anything I can do to prove to a potential seller that I am trustworthy?
Yes you can, use escrow service.

I am using my own personal verified PayPal account. I can send as F&F, and even write a note that I will never charge back if that helps.
I will of course go first.
This can add a layer however I do not think this will help for the dispute.

As an extra layer of protection, I can provide you with my own personal Facebook account having more than 1100 friends and videos and pictures of me from my local martial arts club. I have my whole family on Facebook, and a lot of people posting on my wall. It would be impossible to fake such an account. Will even send a picture with your name so you can see I'm the guy on my Facebook.
Don't do that. Keep your privacy here. Look around here and you will see everyone are encouraged to keep their privacy.

I don't know if this will help, but I really want to prove that I am legit.
Trustworthy? It takes time. For the time being you can use any exchange. Build a decent friend circle here. stay active, be a community guy. People will find you trustworthy.

Thank you for your reply!

I totally agree with you. However so many banks are fighting Bitcoin.
In my country, banks won't accept large bitcoin withdrawals. But it makes sense, because cryptocurrencies is a big loss for the big cooporations.
11  Economy / Exchanges / Hey guys! New at these boards, looking to use the marketplace. on: January 22, 2019, 09:57:50 AM
Hello guys. My name is Jimmy, I'm living in Denmark.
I signed up here because of the marketplace, I'm looking to buy BTC. I know that there's lots of awareness on new users wanting to buy BTC with PP, due to the amount of scams.
Does any of you have any tips as of what I can do to prove that I'm legit?
I have a personal Facebook with lots of friends. I have videos and pictures of me at my local martial arts gym, and my whole family on my Facebook. (Grandma, mom, sister, girlfriend, etc) Would this make a seller more comfortable dealing with me?

I called PayPal, they said that F&F can't be charged back using PayPal's system, but if a buyer went to their bank, they could chargeback all their purchases by saying their card was stolen. I'm aware of this, which is why I'm looking for solutions to make myself more trustworthy.

But this is an introduction, so let me introduce myself.
As previously stated I live in Denmark with my girlfriend. I'm 23 years old and is currently studying marketing management in Zealand.
I'm having a baby daughter in 1 month, which I'm very excited about.

In my sparetime I produce music, and has been for 8 years. I also do martial arts. Specifically Muay thai, BJJ, and MMA.
I like spending time with my friends, and then I'm a non smoker/drinker haha.

Hoping to meet some cool guys on the boards.

Thanks for reading!

Hey guys. I know I'm new here. I registered for the sole purpose of buying BTC.
I know that I'm new here, so I am not at all trustworthy.

Is there anything I can do to prove to a potential seller that I am trustworthy?

I am using my own personal verified PayPal account. I can send as F&F, and even write a note that I will never charge back if that helps.
I will of course go first.

As an extra layer of protection, I can provide you with my own personal Facebook account having more than 1100 friends and videos and pictures of me from my local martial arts club. I have my whole family on Facebook, and a lot of people posting on my wall. It would be impossible to fake such an account. Will even send a picture with your name so you can see I'm the guy on my Facebook.

I don't know if this will help, but I really want to prove that I am legit.

I'm looking to buy BTC preferrably at a 1:1 rate.

Hope to hear from some of you. Whatever idea you have to verify that I'm legit, I'll do.
