Buying your PayPal cash for bitcoins. Bitcoins will be send within 30-60 minutes after receiving payment. I exchange at mtgox or intersango rate. Only doing big deals because of chargeback risk. Prefer getting 1 chargeback and deal with it instead of 10 small chargeback and get myself locked.

PM me for more info.

You'd rather do one huge deal, let's say $1000, and get chargebacked and lose your grand, than do 100 $10 deals with different people, and have to deal with getting chargebacked by one or two?

Edit: It looks to me like you're just trying to make a quick buck by scamming. No reputation, signed up 14 days ago, refuses to do several transactions, wants you to go first and wait for 30-60 minutes, only wants to do "big deals".

Avoid, as you would the plague.

I will be verifying people and will not accept payment from someone without good reputation, that should be pretty logic. and if I get 10 chargebacks in row, that's pretty much 180 day block guaranted due to "paypal launder policy".

Only if you go first. Registered two weeks ago, right into to the marketplace after the newbie forum.

I will buy BTC from you if you send the BTC to me first (Hero member, my own Bitcoin bank, etc.)

What purchase size are you looking for?

I would also like to offer escrow services to you at my Bitcoin bank for a very small fee if you want to sell to customers with less reputation.  

You would send the BTC to me first.  Then they would send you the PayPal money.  After you get the PayPal money I would send the BTC on to the customer.

Interested?

Its really strange. There seems to be many people that have signed up to various online forums from 14th-16th March using the nick "tangowska". Most of these users seem to be listing an iPhone for sale or BTC to PayPal service, yet have no pictures of the iPhone and brief description, in fact most of the posts are actually about how safe it is for the buyer to pay via PayPal in case he doesn't send anything.

There is nothing to say this is the same person, and there's nothing wrong with doing this, but its very strange that someone would advertise an iPhone for sale on lots of forums, surely 1 or 2 forums should be enough to sell a single iPhone.

just be nice to buyers, "you go first" is like smelly breath & ballroom dancing, bad combo.

since you won't sell any coins to anybody in next 60 minutes, just write now here to the forum a new bitcoin address of yours and send bitcoins you want to sell from yourself to yourself, just to show that you have them. that's all what is asked here.

ok, technically you must publish a new address that has no entry in blockchain, best you wait for someone else to repost your post with a witnessed comment to show it was not tampered with and as soon as somebody confirms your proposed address then you move your coins there.
they will remain yours and buyers will calm down.

edited slightly but meaning remains.

Dareq is this you again???

Here is how this scam works.

1. Scammer sets up an unverified paypal account and ties it to a prepaid visa card.

2. Scammer gets you to send him/her paypal and then spends the money on whatever.

3. Scammer tells you his/her account is frozen and you should charge it back.

4. You lose your money forever.

The scam does not work if they are forced to send the BTC first or escrow the BTC - therefore we have not heard from them again since this was suggested.  Also, it is pretty hard to send BTC first if you don't have any Wink

This is true, but there are some not so savvy people here that might fall for it and I just want to inform them of the potential risk involved.  In the case of Dareq someone did send him paypal first and lost their money.

This is why I jumped on this thread and offered to buy and/or escrow.  If it was legit they should have jumped at the chance - not run away.  Anytime one of these pops up all we need is for a SR/Hero member with good rep to offer to buy if they go first.  If they do not take it then it is probably a scam.
