Only problem with bitcoins is if you get scammed nothing can be done.

And people who don't really understand about bitcoin will blame bitcoin is ponzi lol.

Well bitcoin and PayPal is really different, in transaction, fees, network and architecture form.

I would agree PayPal and Bitcoin could not be more different.  Bitcoin is a forum of money.  Paypal is a service to send money.

So Bitcoin is actually more like fiat money then paypal.   But with crypto currency you can mine/send it over internet which fiat cannot with out service or middle man.  In bitcoin there is not that middle man unless you use escrow.

Bitcoin mining is now a specialized and very risky industry, just like gold mining. Amateur miners are unlikely to make much money, and may even lose money. Bitcoin is much more than just mining, though!

If you sell on PP you are screwed because in disputes they tend to lean towards the buyer side.

And also the chargeback shit makes its horrible. Better use bitcoin, its irreversible,and with proper escrow, you can eliminate scams to 0.000000001%
Yes. Chargebacks from what I understand can be up to 80-90 days. That is alot of time to decide if you want to return something and get your money back.

Yep it should be 6-7 days, or even without chargeback, there is no reason for it, if you buy something then you own it. Try sell it it elsewhere lol.

People can give out voluntary warranty if they want, but you just cant force them to have chargeback system, its unfair.

chargeback is up to 180, it depend on the circuit, with mastercard for example is longer, with visa too, but with american express it shorter, should be what you've wrote

Paypal became the endustry standard because of ebay for years. It is a very hard task to make people use bitcoin instead of paypal with years of experience. It is nearly impossible at  the moment.

Everything can be done if you give it time. Beating PayPal at the moment is impossible, but it can be done step by step in the comming years. People need to step up and stop using PayPal.

That is without a card linked to the paypal account is what I was referring too. I can only speak from what I have on my account. Using a credit card on an account, I can't speak for how many days chargebacks are up until because those numbers aren't disclosed to people who don't have them on their account, such as myself.
If that is so, then what a RIP.

Depends on item.  Some items sadly you need the longer warranty.  Anything digital I'm a little afraid of online.  That it is bought from say a carded source.

If you bought something with digital content, or something with lifetime (tivos for example) you need longer as if it's carded they shut it down eventually... but not in 6-7 day's most likely.

So I would agree as a seller on miners I would like less day's on paypal.  But other items as buyer it does serve valid purpose.

Being new(ish) to bitcoin, I've noticed it MUCH harder to sell products online and accept bitcoin as a form of payment. Paypal sales are steady and people tend to rather use paypal than bitcoin to buy things. (in my exp anyway)

I wish bitcoin could somehow figure a (buyer/seller protection) like paypal. It's alot of work sending items to escrows/ waiting for them to get the item/ then them sending item to buyer etc.

I may be totally out there on this,lol also sorry if i don't make much sense either. Sometimes its hard to type what i'm really thinking,lol

Well PayPal is more integrated in many platforms mainly because it is something easier for people to understand they use PayPal to buy or sell things but it is not a currency itself rather i believe as someone has already stated a platform. That being said with escrow there are sites that you can buy and sell that offer escrow services such as cryptothrift or now know as bitify. It is a pain at times but offers security for the buyer and seller. With bitcoin escrow is the best protection when doing transactions for items or services.

The thing to keep in mind with BTC though is there is no fee to use it PayPal charges a fee for everything anymore seriously it's ridiculous. And even with their so called "buyer protection" or "seller protection" you can still get screwed very easy with paypal look up some of the ebay stories even with high volume sellers that have perfect ratings will be screwed over. BTC takes all that away no one can go back two weeks or even a month and say o something happened i need my money back then your left with loss of product and owing someone money.

Another thing to keep in mind is BTC is still foreign to majority of people sure they may have heard of it but most don't really know what it is or care. That will change once places like walmart dollar stores best buy whatever start to accept it in their stores like a lot of them do with paypal now. That could be many years away or next year hard to say but eventually BTC will be accepted virtually everywhere it's a digital currency for a digital age.

At the moment, I do not feel comfortable exchanging Bitcoins for PayPal since any dispute always is decided in the buyers favor. Henceforth, it becomes difficult to find sellers here in this forum and even Bitcoinexchange. I tend to find an e-transfer interact deal on localbitcoin.com when I need to do an exchange, but even then it is reverse-able and you have to trust the person you're selling to.

Signatures? How about learning a skill... I don't care either way. Everybody has to make a living somehow.

Many people believe that to sell bitcoins, if Paypal is available as an option would be great. But that is not at all needed right now. Even some days Paypal will implement that option but at that time you need not to sell your bitcoins.

Centralized(Paypal) Vs. Decentralized(Bitcoin)
Any Paypal user, whether a buyer or a seller, will at some point run into issues with Paypal's centralized structure.  For instance, I am on my second Paypal account currently after my first account was frozen, and all attached cards and banks were banned from future Paypal use.  I had to create an entirely new bank account just to use Paypal due to arbitrary freezing of my first account.  Bitcoin, on the other hand, is decentralized and I am completely certain that nobody has the ability to limit my access to my Bitcoin wallet, or to move funds from my Bitcoin wallet.
Also Paypal charges nearly 3% for transactions between people while bitcoin transactions are almost 0%

There are intermediate sale sites like cryptothrift etc... where the site holds the funds until the buyer confirm receipt of the item, also localbitcoins escrow works the same way too in the general concept.

Receipts help prove it but I have seen scam thread's with receipts on trading BTC for cards.  So it is not fool proof.  Credit card scammers sadly effect everything from bitcoin trading on like local bitcoin forum, even to items on ebay with paypal.

So one set of criminal really is pretty wide reaching on what they effect.  Which is sad but I don't see card scammers stopping any time soon.
