hi all, so i tried buying a few bitcoins thorough bitmarket.eu but it takes over 48 hours to verify me since i have no previous bitcoin transactions. O would like to buy just 1-3 bitcoins from a trustworthy member here through PP gift or whatever. I will obviously go first and am quite desperate. Will offer a premium. I need the bitcoins ASAP.

Just wondering, why so desperate for 1-3 bitcoins?

You could email them also.

I don't know anything about this particular poster (could be 100% legit), but be cautious here.  This is exactly how a compromised PayPal account would be used to obtain BTC.  The scammer would request immediate transfer of the BTC to reduce the possibility that the real PayPal account holder would notice the transaction before you send the BTC.  Once the real PayPal account holder notices, the transaction will be reversed and you will lose the PayPal gift and be out your BTC.

Happened to me on eBay, but luckily I hadn't sent the BTC yet.
