Also, is PayPal a standard method of payment? I don't yet have an ample supply of Bitcoin and want to hold as much as I can for the rebound.
No, but for that, you just need to talk with your chosen escrows and see if you can arrange a deal with them using Paypal as a medium transaction.
But I've never seen an escrow here accepting a deal like that. Seems it requires extra work.
But no harm trying. Just choose the reputable ones.
No paypal
Usually I take most coins
BTC
LTC
BCH
Doge
ETH I don't care for ETH
ZEC
XMR
I charge 10 usd minimum or 2% on deals under 1000.
I charge 1.5% on 1000 usd or higher.
I also charge tx fees what ever they are no extra.
This why Doge is really good as fees are small.
I don't care whos pays the escrow fee. buyer or seller just need to agree which one pays it.
I get all funds.
shipping
gear
tx fees.
Seller ships
buyer gets it
buyer checks it out
Buyer says it is good
I pay seller minus the fees.
When there are issues bad gear, no gear etc We talk it out and fix it.escrow setup how I do it:
favors buyer until buyer says it is good.
favors seller once buyer says it is good.
Ie after a 1 to 2 day inspection time if buyer says it works all problems are now the buyers.
I am good at doing them, but>
Escrow is a duty to support the community.
Escrow is a hard job.
So many scammers try to beat escrow agents in many ways.
One of the most annoying attacks is ask for escrow then spend a few days talking terms over . Then do no deal.
I have had 30 like that in a week. involves 100 or more answered pm's all for zip nada.
