well, 2.10 dollar isn't a big amount. but paypal is highly untrusted nowadays... almost 80% deals with paypal got scammed because of Paypal's stupid refund policy..
I suggest you to exchange your paypal in some other way. you can buy a domain with paypal and sell that for bitcoin again or anything else.
No it isn't but he blantley said "Why would he scam for this amount?!" Then he goes ahead and attempts to do it!
That is like rubbing shit in your face!
Yeah that is a good idea to sell digital things then exchange for bitcoin.
