Hi all, wanted to thank JoelKatz and others for posting about btctock.com. I have an order placed with him/them, and of course it makes total sense that it is all too good to be true - but I'm too enthused and trusting to just say "wait a minute this couldn't be anything except a baldfaced robbery".
I'm a newbie so I can't post where the thread is, which is here:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=251390.0He/they are allowing me to use paxum.com to pay instead of a bitcoin direct transfer (since I don't have any). I asked about paypal and got:
"Paypal Normally do have issues with every bitcoin based business , they also have issues with us , they have started to ask to stop the bitcoin related services ."
I think I will ask about what escrow service they recommend I use once I have my paxum.com account ready (but unfunded) - I'll post the response.
