If I started a site to sell redeemable Mt. Gox codes printed on a physical card and mailed it with Signature Confirmation, would that eliminate the possibility of chargebacks? I think we'd all agree the hardest part of getting into Bitcoins is actually BUYING the Bitcoins. (Here's a great article on Delivery Confirmation & Signature Confirmation.) |

Use dwolla instead, the point of bitcoin is to move away from exchanges like paypal. |

^ Is that true? Can you provide a reference link to this? I'm not trolling, I'm just curious. If selling gift codes or gift cards is so dangerous, how are they sold online at all? |

You would still need to send it to a confirmed address otherwise paypal would not care.

Agreed. That would definitely help towards fighting a chargeback. |

Lol, I meant I would print the redeemable code ON a card then sell it. Basically doing the exchange for people interested in buying small amounts of bitcoins. In my mind it would be a lot like http://bitbills.com/index.html |

That crappy site doesn't even have a trusted SSL cert. |
