Selling a lot of Singles and because John K escrow is impossible to contact due to how busy he is, I am considering paypal.

Is this a bad idea?  Even if it is from verified users?

There are still a few trustworthy people out there to handle your escrow.
When the subject of buying BTC with Paypal comes up, I often remember this: 

Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

Yes, it's a very bad idea even if they are verified.

Saying that you don't trust someone because of their behavior is completely valid.

Haha, I think that nearly all of us know the answer to that question. The real question is do you enjoy chargebacks? If you answered yes, than by golly go for it!

Yes, if you make a deal with someone trusted it should be fine.
