Bitcoin mining is now a specialized and very risky industry, just like gold mining. Amateur miners are unlikely to make much money, and may even lose money. Bitcoin is much more than just mining, though!

Paypal works like an escrow here!

You send me paypal and then i send you bitcoins.  If i dont send nothing, you can just open a dispute and you have your money back.
If i send first but then you dont send me paypal, how can i have my bitcoins back?

Lol that scam is so old and played out. You receive the money then immediately move it to another account or it's a man in the middle scheme. Either way Literally no one here will send you first.

PAypal is not an escrow. If you want to trade, use an escrow.

Trade honorably and honestly. Stop being a scammer.

PayPal is not an escrow service and they don't always protect those who send or pay first. Their fraud protection policies only apply to those which allow payments to be disputed or charged back.

Scammers exploit this by either using MITM to buy bitcoins at the expense of those who pay by PayPal (so essentially the scammer doesn't lose a single cent, even if the payment is later disputed) or by quickly spending the funds before a dispute is opened.

If you are not a scammer, you will send your coins to a trusted escrow on this forum who will confirm they do have the bitcoins and then (and only then) will a buyer send the PayPal payment. I'm expecting you to be unhappy about this suggestion. Why? Because there are no coins to be escrowed. Am I right.. or am I right? (no option for being wrong here!)

If my assumption is wrong, prove it by engaging a trusted escrow here and trading as I suggested above. I will then apologize and retract this post.

1.5 months later paypal finally gave birth.

Here is the face of the scammer:

Apparently, the eBay buyer whom i confirmed called the credit card company and submitted a dispute on paypal. Since sale of a bitcoin via ebay isn't covered by the paypal seller protection policy, they took my money to cover their looses.

WORD OF ADVISE: STAY AWAY FROM PAYPAL!
