Why is Bank Transfer not safe? It cannot be reversed as once the money is sent to the bank, it cannot be chargedback.

Chargeback is applicable to anything credit/debit card funded and bank transfer. In simple, chargeback is applicable to almost all fiat transactions.

It is so, but this doesn't in the least guarantee that you will succeed with the chargeback. The only time I requested it, I had to provide all the info to my bank regarding the purchase I wanted to cancel, that is confirmation that the seller hadn't fulfilled his obligations (the reason for chargeback)...

And yes, I got my money back in the end

I think if you can pay the high fees of virwox then it's the only way to convert
PayPal us$ to BTC
And for selling BTC there are many exchange's available
To converter from BTC to PayPal

Thank you

Bank to bank transfers and wires are two different things. Might want to quick up on that... Wires are more secure compared to bank to bank or ACH / EFT transfers which can be easily sent from hacked accounts.

I'm offering a service to help educate users on how to accept PayPal for BTC. Details are in the link.

http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=22255.0

It was very thorough, I have had always many doubts about how to use it,

Thank you very much!

Such spam

The link (http://virtualfaqs.com/forum/paypal/574-paypal-virtual-faq.html - mentioned in thread referenced by spammer above) doesn't even work and has probably been dead for awhile now since it's from 2011.

Money sent through PayPal and any other money transfer service that accepts credit cards can be easily reversed by the sender, even after several weeks. Therefore, you should only accept PayPal in trades with people you trust very highly.

This is why newbies are not likely to sell their PayPal USD for bitcoins successfully.

Some other services that are not totally safe:
- Bank transfers (ACH, etc.) except wire transfers
- Most gift cards.
- Moneypak
- AlertPay
- Paysafecards
- Dwolla
- Western Union (they reportedly will sue the recipient to recover money in some cases)

This is true - I now use https://localbitcoins.com/buy_bitcoins - I have had no problems so far - very good service.

Some other E-Currency will be also reversible if anyone reports scam to the E-Currency company.

are net spend reload pack's paid with cash reversible?

If you can convince the right employee or government judge that your electronic numbers were lost or stolen, yes.

Same answer for every single electronic number payment/storage method on earth where you do not have sole possession of the private keys.

Like others(incl. me) said, "anything Credit Card funded is reversible".

-MZ

And anything paid by debit card too. Once upon a time I successfully made a charge-back from an Internet shop which refused to reimburse my order when the local post service had lost my parcel. At first I tried to contact them personally (a few times actually), but since they had been just kicking the can down the road, I asked my bank to deal with them on my behalf...

Is Dwolla reversible?

Learn to search, friend! A simple search is enough to find your answers. People claim "it is worse than PayPal". See https://www.google.com/search?q=dwolla+reversible&hl=en&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=LIj5VNeBD8O1uQSX2YGADw&ved=0CAgQ_AUoAg
