There are other ways to use PayPal and convert to bitcoin. He can transfer it to a non refundable online payment method or buy gift cards. Or even buy something and get it sent to someone (email delivery) and convert it that way.
There are options. But your friend is getting stressed out and talking shit to people because everyone is telling him the same thing. We won't find a straight up deal for his PayPal. Why don't you sell him bitcoins and have the PayPal and do the conversion for him? Just another idea.
Im not stressed out, i just find it extremly ammusing how paranoid all of you are.
+ Why go that extra mile and try to find another way, when im not really in a hurry nor am a stressed to get it at all, you guys dont seem to understand that part.... this is what im offering, feels like each of you walks into a store full of antiques and then starts crying around that there are no apples. Its what it is, and nothing else lol.
