It was probably a link to Silkroad, bitcointalk doesnt want to link to them (for obvious reasons).

Because the link got removed, it was probably a scam site  Undecided
Please buy bitcoins only from trusted people/websites!

Now I would initiate a chargeback with paypal asap.

It was definitely a scam site. No legitimate site will accept PayPal for bitcoins, due to the risk of chargeback fraud. Also, how much did you pay? 8 bitcoins are currently worth about US$108, and the very few legitimate sellers who do accept PayPal will charge a hefty premium on top of that to make up for the chargeback risk. If you paid less than US$108 for your coins, you were certainly scammed (scammers frequently offer "discounts" to trick people into using them instead of reputable traders).

Will pretend to do unspeakable things (while actually eating a taco) for bitcoins: 1K6d1EviQKX3SVKjPYmJGyWBb1avbmCFM4
