Yeah, that's why I asked for a trusted seller haha. I don't know if that's enough of a safeguard from these dangers though.
Had you asked yesterday I might have done it, but my Paypal funds from my last job are already headed for my bank. Just be sure the buyer doesn't add a note mentioning bitcoins and you should be ok for a one-time trade. Make it a habit or put a public face on it (btc-paypal exchange site or similar) and you will likely get shut down.
