I am just wondering - between all places accepting Paypal there is a huge number of trustworthy members. If we:

- get all Paypal email addresses from mndrix that he knows are honest
- get all OTC rating incorporated into the exchange
- get all people having very good forum reputation (from the honest members thread)
- get all people from bitcoinmarket who use Paypal and are honest

We could alter bitmarket to only accept Paypal from these people - and then the sellers would feel comfortable selling for Paypal, because they would know the buyers are verified.

Either that or in order to use Paypal on bitmarket as a buyer you would have to get verified (phonecall, activation code or something similar).

Of course, I don't think this is possible for the simple reason that mndrix and bitcoinmarket are not in a position to disclose such information. But in theory, this could yield in a big OTC portal where Paypal and its chargebacks would not be an issue. Also, we would introduce a rating system.

bitmarket.eu supports PayPal, but only when the sellers are accepting it.

But what about people that may file a dispute and get they're money back, cause paypal can do that.
How do i protect myself from people like that on there?
#bitcoin-otc operates a web of trust. Just limit your trades to those with a high rating.

worse still, it seems that selling bitcoin alone is enough to get the account closed.

You can try the IRC channel. Usually someone is there to trade paypal with.

After coincard ndrix is down, i am left with no place that supports paypal.

The reason i need paypal is not only that it is linked with paypal, but i have forgotten my pin number for the card so i can't withdraw money. But if they are in the paypal account i can use them freely.
