1  Economy / Currency exchange / Buying bitcoin on: May 25, 2020, 03:48:30 PM
Hi so I’m a newbie which comes with its own set of problems when it comes to buying btc. So I don’t have a bank account and don’t want one. I have a pay pal and buying bitcoin with that on here has proven very difficult. Lots of people trying to scam me out of my pay pal and lots of people afraid I’m trying to scam them. Also people trying to change 25 percent which I’m not going to pay. When I do get someone who says they will sell, the communication is so terrible that I give up. So I load my pay pal with cash not a credit card. Which means my pay pal when sent with friends and family is absolutely not reversible. I don’t care what anyone says on here, it’s just not. I’ve tried before when I got scammed and they told me too bad. So I thought of another way. If someone needs something on amazon or eBay or anywhere, I buy it and once you receive the shipping confirmation, you send me the btc. We can use escrow so everyone feels protected and then I can grow my account on this site so I’m more trusted. Boom! Win win. Thanks everyone!

Probably these are the real owner of the accounts that make this claim and receive money back after they recognize to have been scammed.

Yes and the sender use hacked paypal/credit card info/bank account. There are many people who steal these types of information via classified ads.

Well not everyone is a scammer. Some people use pay pal like myself because they don’t have a bank account and that is all they have. I load mine with cash so maybe that’s why mine wasn’t reversible when I got scammed. I guess at the end of the day it all come down to trust. I have found people that will trAde bitcoin for pay pal. On Local.bitcoin.com people trade for pay pal but use a higher markup.

Wait, FnF is still reversible? Why do I see so many sellers still actually choosing this option, if your 5 points could still be used for non-FnF?
Yes,  as I mentioned in these way the people who are fraud can reverse the payment. Even almost maximum time it will be auto reverse without any dispute (for fnf payment there is no dispute option), but when they create dispute via bank or credit card issuer then paypal will create dispute on behalf of the bank or credit card issuer. Many people choose fnf option as---
1. Maximum fee is 4.99$ from usa paypal to other
2. Many people do not know it is reversible if receive by fnf
3. it does not hole 7 days or 21 days or something like this.
4. Fee deducts from sender
5. Only fraud people can reverse. General public cant reverse.
6. There is no dispute option. There might have more reason.

Ok so what about Venmo? Like I said, everything is reversible besides bitcoin at a certain level. That doesn’t mean it’s easy to reverse. I know this much. I tried to reverse a friends and family payment a year ago when I got scammed. Pay pal told me I was screwed. So there is your reversible right there.

If anyone out there wants to trade me 300 usd for btc let me know. We must use escrow from trusted member on this site. I’m a newbie but trying to change that. Thanks.
Paypal is reversible, so there is no escrow who can accept paypal as escrow. And also at the same time as it is reversible and you are a newbie in this forum, I wish no one  will take paypal from you. It is too much risky.

I have Venmo also. But besides wiring money from a bank the only thing not reversible is btc. But friends and family isn’t reversible as far as I know. Thanks for the kind reply.

OMG!!!! This Scammer Thecryptofan911
just deleted most of his post.

Lucky we caught this scumbag before he ripped off any members on here.
definitely leaving negative trust on this guys feedback

you should leave negative trust as well billybanjo5

That’s great that he got exposed. Thanks for helping out. I will defiantly leave him negative feedback. For folks that don’t know he tried to blackmail me and say that unless I bought .5 bitcoin from him, he would leave me negative feedback. I had talked to the guy a month ago about a possible trade but he started acting pushy and super shady telling me to send my gold coins to him through the mail. Lol. He is a toTal scammer and thanks chillfactr for helping me expose this douche bag.

Hi I’m new here and I would like to buy bitcoin with pay pal. I could buy at an exchange but I don’t want to give up kyc. I’m not a scammer, I just want to buy btc with pay pal and it’s harder than I thought. If anyone that has a well trusted account wants to sell me some let me know. Small transactions to minimize risk. Thanks.

Buying BTC from a forum member is stupidity, even if the member has high green rating of trust your money can corrupt the person into giving up his or her account, we have exchanges for buying and selling coins, they are lot safer

Exchanges require kyc. So that may not be a problem for you but it is for some of us. I would rather do it peer to peer like btc was designed.

A trusted member messaged me after I asked about buying btc and said we could do a transaction. They assured me because they were a trusted member and had a reputation to keep, that I could feel safer about getting my coin. I was paying pay pal and because I had no recourse I only wanted to do a fairly small transaction to test it. The trade went fine and the btc was delivered as promised. I did one or two more transactions over the next week or two and again it went smooth. So my question is, is a trusted forum reputation enough to trust someone? I’m at the point now where I want to buy a substantial amount and it is too much money for me to feel comfortable doing the same type of trade. What should I do or suggest to the seller? An escrow of some kind? Thanks for your help.

Hi there, I was told to come here to find someone willing to sell me btc for PayPal. Sorry in advance if I sound stupid, I’m new to btc but I want to start acquiring during this dip. I would also trade someone gold for some. Not sure how any of that works and keeps both of us protected but maybe one of you can help me understand all of this better. Thanks in advance, B
