In 6 years never had a bad experience. From my point of view they are totaly trustable.

We aren't telling that paypal isn't trustable. We told that, person who send you paypal money can be taken back by them easily. So you will loose both BTC/cryptos and money. Anyway if you want to sell, try to withdraw money into bank account as fast as possible, best to withdraw instantly after you get. But there is a likely chance to lose the same amount of money you got from the person, if he reports. Sad
Kindly,

Quick question.  I have a buyer interested in purchasing some BTC for paypal.  He is willing to do the whole ID thing but just wondering...if he where to enter in the comments section of his paypal payment that the transaction is irreversible would this protect me against a potential chargeback down the road?

Absolutely not, because he can claim his account was "hacked" and the "hacker" included that message.

Saying that you don't trust someone because of their behavior is completely valid.

Was sort of thinking along the same lines sadly.  Ok, I appreciate the help.  Can 'gifted' transactions be reversed for the same reason then essentially?

Gift payments can be reversed. Leaving a comment won't help at all... they can always claim identity was stolen and paypal account was hacked.

Really appreciate the feedback fellas.  Long and short of it: unless you REALLY trust the person your selling too paypal is a no-go!  Thanks for saving me some potential heart-ache guys!

This is true although I've also lost when I was clearly in the right.

I have used paypal to pay for BTC a few times but it is very risky for the BTC seller.

Yes. It has been done between BCB and danieldaniel.

MoneyGram is like PayPal too. It is reversible and thus always protect senders. See http://ecrimeexpertblog.wordpress.com/2011/09/30/exposing-how-scammers-use-western-union-and-moneygram-for-fraud/ for detailed explanation.

Yeah exactly. Once the cash is picked up, there's nothing else to do right?

Money sent through PayPal and any other money transfer service that accepts credit cards can be easily reversed by the sender, even after several weeks. Therefore, you should only accept PayPal in trades with people you trust very highly.

This is why newbies are not likely to sell their PayPal USD for bitcoins successfully.

Some other services that are not totally safe:
- Bank transfers (ACH, etc.) except wire transfers
- Most gift cards.
- Moneypak
- AlertPay
- Paysafecards
- Dwolla
- Western Union (they reportedly will sue the recipient to recover money in some cases)

Yeah, online transfer service is not 100% safe, and that's why we need to protect our own privacy!
