I don't understand why you guys prefer to buy in unsecured transaction when you knew that you can buy at reputable sites while still using bank wire transfer or skrill. Do you really want inconvenience?
Just head on to binance, bittrex or other sites, it's better, safe and cheaper < if you consider escrow > than buying from stranger.
Most of the people here with newbie accounts were trying this to scam someone recently one of my friend got scammed by Paypal method even I insisted him don't do Paypal transactions while buying bitcoins.
