1 BTC and paying with PayPal and this is your very first post. I doubt very much it will happen.
PayPal is notoriously reversible and a very high risk payment method. Even established members here struggle to buy far less than 1 BTC.
Verifying identity and legitimacy hardly helps as there are scammers here who do the same thing for a mere few cents.
Escrows will rarely or not accept transactions if they detect a high risk of a payment recall or reversal.
Chargeback privileges end after 180 days and only then will one feel a perceived sense of safety in sending bitcoins.
Okay. Willing to USD wire/Square Cash/Google Wallet, too, as long as it moves quickly (I need the BTC by the end of the day Wednesday and I'm US Central time). I realize that it's my reputation that needs building, not that of others. As long as they've built a reputation I will put my neck on the line.
Edit: I'm also a law student and able/willing to send an email from my student email account to verify that way. Whatever works, willing to go the distance.
