Sorry to hear that!

Hey well I know what you mean because so many of the bitcoin related websites are buggy and not trustworthy, etc. They are obviously not subject to banking regulations and there are reports all over here of people having their money stolen. I've thought about giving up myself but will hang in there awhile longer.

[vm1990]

iv been hanging in there for 3 months now and iv just had it bitcoin is way to stressful for what its worth and for the first time in my life im against something anonymous (these are the sort of reasons that so much finachal stuff requires so much personal information) its a shame bitcoin could be good but a few selfish a**holes spoil it, the way i feel right now i would probably kill the person if i found them

[nebulus]

People rip people off - fact of life, you've got to accept this. I've been ripped off quite a bit of times here. Good luck!

[Anon136]

maybe you get ripped off by individual actors in the bitcoin community but at-least the currency its self isn't ripping me off, you know like the currency in the "regulated" economy.

[mining4dice]

buy btc for cash only

[Joshster]

Live and learn, don't give up. If your serious about quitting I see your from the UK I might be interested in your equipment.

[8bitp]

I'm sorry for you.

I believe, other things in live will bring you back again! 

[ArbitrageX]

The anonymous aspect to BTC is a double edged sword...

Frankly, I'm not breaking any laws, planning to, or trafficking in anything I shouldn't be.

I would get the most value out of this system if it was more secure.  But with anonymity there is no accountability...

[LiteBurner]

hmmm, he did a claimback on paypal? Paypal payments come with all their info.

[n.montross1]

Ok well it sounds like you were selling Bitcoins on ebay which was VERY risky to begin with.  When you sell electronic goods on ebay there is zero seller protection.   The buyer could post you positive feedback and say they love everything and then still get a chargeback that ebay would approve automatically.

You really aren't even supposed to sell digital currency on ebay even though they seem to allow it. But I've heard people are getting their Payapal accounts frozen for selling it, so I would be careful there.  I wouldn't sell it on there just due to that. 

But very sorry to hear about your situation.

[egorisek36]

it's very important to trade only in trustworthy traders.
the rest are not secure..

[DannyHamilton]

You're done with Bitcoin because Paypal is crap and allows people to rip you off?

That doesn't seem to make much sense.

Wouldn't it make more sense to give up on Paypal?

[ooeygooeygold]

that sucks! paypal is nightmare there holding a bunch of my money I wouldn't quit yet tho...soon bitcoins will worth an ounce of gold

[tesserajk]

I have had nothing but bad luck with PayPal and unfortunately there are enough scammers that a lot of people end up in your situation. I have had a lot of luck sticking to localbitcoins.com or bitcoin-otc trading with very trusted traders.

[vm1990]

right after a bit of thinking im not giving up on btc just yet but im going to give paypal a run for there money failing that anyone know when anonymouse want to rape paypal again? i would like to root them on.. wouldnt want to cost paypal lost earnings by joining in 

as for using paypal dont really have much choice in the UK considering were one of the worlds banking hubs the UK as a whole is crap for anything money wise

[sublime5447]

If you dont want to get ripped off sell them to me. When you sell on ebay you are getting very high prices for your coins, with the added price comes greater risk. I have sold a few hundred coins on ebay and was only ripped off by one guy he got me for 2 coins and then left negative feedback. I have been selling on ebay for over 5 years for a living and if you think you are just going to jump in there and not get screwed you are wrong. Ebay is full of scammers, you can buy hacked accounts so it is easy to scam. Sorry you got screwed.aasasw
