Yep, suspicious as heck. As advised above, lock the thread if you don't want to be painted red.
PayPal is highly reversible and the "nice" approach here won't do the trick. PayPal is a high risk payment method, which ever angle you look at it from.
If you have to start somewhere, start with something that is not reversible, then build and grow from there. When you have an established track record of trading honestly, then there is a chance someone somewhere might consider taking PayPal payments from you.
For now, you're right, this has a very low chance of success.
Okay, I totally understand it! What payment methods do you consider as totally safe for the btc seller? Maybe I can convert PayPal first to for example gift cards, and convert that into BTC?
