I'm new to Bitcoin and this forum.  I actually wanted to ask this question in relation to another thread, but I guess I'm not allowed at the moment.  So anyway there was a thread where someone posted that they just got their PayPal account shut down after selling $3,000 worth of bitcoins to others via eBay.

My question is, why would you bother with selling Bitcoins on eBay?  Is there a reliability problem with places like MtGox?  I'm genuinely confused as to why someone would risk dealing with PayPal, given well established alternatives.  Are the major BTC exchanges not as reliable as they are made out to be?

Transactions must be included in a block to be properly completed. When you send a transaction, it is broadcast to miners. Miners can then optionally include it in their next blocks. Miners will be more inclined to include your transaction if it has a higher transaction fee.

Trying to make a quick buck coin.  They were selling BTC for 50%, 70%, 100%+ markup.

Thank you for the answer.  I suppose that makes sense - at least for the seller lol.

Meth heads  Grin
Charlie Kelly: I'm pleading the 5th.  The Attorney: I would advise you do that.  Charlie Kelly: I'll take that advice under cooperation, alright? Now, let's say you and I go toe-to-toe on bird law and see who comes out the victor?  The Attorney: You know, I don't think I'm going to do anything close to that and I can clearly see you know nothing about the law.
