I can sell this to you for $12.25 PayPal paid as goods & services but few questions before we deal:

1. Is your PayPal account Verified & on your name? I would need your ID to verify this.
2. Are funds in your PayPal account legit? I would need screenshots of how you obtained these funds + all cases screenshot from your PayPal's resolution center.
3. You promise to never charge back this payment once you receive BTC ?

then how do you want to pay?

though you can still send payments as goods and services "“Our customers in Puerto Rico will no longer be able send money to friends and family abroad with Venmo or PayPal, but will be able to continue to use PayPal to pay for goods and services and receive payments."

No offense, sardasa, but, ideally, you would be sending the BTC to an escrow, at this point (many of them do escrow work for free, and it's always an extra layer of security for both parties).

Also:

1. Is your PayPal account Verified & on your name? I would need your ID to verify this.
2. Are funds in your PayPal account legit? I would need screenshots of how you obtained these funds + all cases screenshot from your PayPal's resolution center.
3. You promise to never charge back this payment once you receive BTC ?


1. Would this really help? ID's can be fake/stolen (along with accounts), and the amount is so small that pursuing it would likely be unprofitable anyway.
2. Hmm, can't those screenshots / the pages from which the screenshots are taken be easily edited?
3. ... really? Smiley

Escrow does nothing for this transaction as there is no guarantee against a chargeback.

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.

It's certainly true that the escrow can't prevent a chargeback, but it would protect rflxso from, say, sardasa not sending the BTC. Additionally, and maybe I'm giving escrow too much credit here, escrow might be able to prevent other types of scams, like, for instance, users trading among several of their alts to gain the veneer of trust (not saying that is what is going on here, but you never know Tongue).




EDIT:

i hardly know anything about this, i just want to finish the transaction without any problems, that's all

For safety's sake, contact someone from the following escrow list next time (assuming the current deal is already done): https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=855778.0 - they'll help you out, step by step, if needed, and (many of them) charge absolutely nothing for it.

I am the one who is taking risk here. Why should I use escrow & pay for the escrow fee? Which escrow would be willing to deal for just $10?

I assume you have done all these things in here that's why you know so much about it.
Anyways, the guy has sent me his id holding in his hand.

Feel free to deal with anyone you want. I am not forcing you to deal with me. In any case I am only earning $1 in this deal. So, its not going to be a big loss for me Smiley

Several would be willing to do so; plus, look at the list I posted above, and you'll see not every escrow requires a fee.

In relation to who is taking a risk here, that depends on how you go about it: you are always at risk of chargebacks here, no doubt; but, if you require him to go first, for example, he is also taking the risk you won't send the BTC.

Don't take this personally, sardasa.

If I don't send the BTC then can't he initiate charge back?

Don't take this personally, sardasa.

Tell me one reason why should I not?
Did you even check my trust here? Have I not sent BTC to users before? Did you even check my thread about selling BTC or you were to eager to just throw your judgement?

Yes, he can, but chargebacks are not without risk either - using escrow would be far safer (and faster, if things go wrong).

Sardasa, I'm not saying that you will scam, or that rflxso will scam - I'm saying that the way you both were going about this was riskier than it should be. In fact, if you look back at my very first post in this thread, you will see that I criticized both the lack of escrow (which would be a risk to rflxso, if he went first) and the precautions you were taking to protect yourself (which seemed insufficient to me, and so, posed a risk to you).

You can (and arguably should) report spam no matter where in the forum it occurs.

Is there anything in life w/o risk?
You marry a girl/guy. are you 100% sure that both of you would be able to live together all your life? Isn't there a risk involved?
You deposit your money in the bank and after few days bank gets bankrupt. Isn't there a risk involved?
You are driving on the road & suddenly met an accident. Isn't there a risk involved?

Sardasa, I'm not saying that you will scam, or that rflxso will scam - I'm saying that the way you both were going about this was riskier than it should be.

What else can I take as precautions if I have to sell BTC for PayPal?
No escrow can help as user got 180 days to charge back the payment they send.

You can (and arguably should) report spam no matter where in the forum it occurs.

Its NOT my moral responsibility to keep this forum spam free. Rules are there in place & people should follow them!
