Sent $250 via PayPal for .3 BTC.  He claims to have sent over 30 minutes ago.  I've received nothing.

And people STILL use Paypal. I don't know how many warnings are needed to stop the madness.  Roll Eyes
When the subject of buying BTC with Paypal comes up, I often remember this: 

Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

Open a complaint with Paypal.  They will give you your money back.

In the meantime, I have flagged him so he will show RED to everyone.

Whats a Diet - contact me when you have resolved this and I will remove the feedback.

Edit:  Looking at his post history, I'm almost positive he created this account just to scam.  You have to be more careful in the future.  Luckily this time paypal should help you.

Thanks.  Complaint has been filed but I can't upgrade it to a claim until a week from now, and from there who knows how long it will take to get the money back.
