I have around $2.5K in a paypal account. It was not obtained through illegal means, but I still want to withdrawal it without being linked to my name. Is there someplace through escrow or whatnot where this can be done without paying ridiculously high fees. I understand that the paypal user can do chargeback which is why most people don't accept paypal, but there still has to be a way to buy some bitcoin.

You can buy gift cards @Gyft.com and then re sell them cheaper here, for me it doesn't make any sense if u ask me, why wouldn't u go to the bank and withdrawal the fiat? Since ur account is under your name lately u will get cash for it. Or just ask a friend who doesnt care about doing the cash out and xfer the pp amount.

You can try trusted exchanges like xmlgold.eu, virwox and even localbitcoins to exchange your PP for BTC. Minimum fees you will need to pay is 15% as the risk of chargeback wouldn't get you a better deal. Escrow wouldn't help in case of PP and if you can't withdraw your PP cash to your bank, the best option would be only exchanging it for BTC.

I don't think anyone will want to exchange that sum with a newbie, but I could be wrong  |

Have fun trying to convince us that, then. The only way you can do it is to withdraw it to your bank, and then wire it to another person's. |

Well, I ended up getting scammed. Perhaps my story will help others avoid the mistake that I did. So, a user named bitcoinjedi contacted me through a pm and said he could give me bitcoin for my paypal at a near 1:1 preev rate. We talked on google hangouts via text and exchanged information. Ended up sending $1,300 to the paypal address he provided. Never got the btc. I believe I was part of a man in the middle type scam where I would send money to some third party and he, having already communicated with this third party, would receive the bitcoin instead of me. His recent posts indicate though that he never received the bitcoin either though, so he might have got scammed as well. I thought I was safe with paypal, but apparently you can't charge back friends and family payments. Anyways, lesson learned the hard way. Looks like I'm sticking to just trusted sites now. Hopefully this story will help others in the future.... Misconceptions can cost you a lot of money!

i am sorry that you got scammed, but lots of people here - legit people - have offered you their service + escrow it's your own fault bro edit: could you not file a claim? id do that immediately if the @seller@ stops contact after money were transferred |
its not a matter of if
its a matter of when

Start a scam accusation in the so named section if you are genuine. |
