people post here asking 1:1 for paypal BECAUSE MT.GOX DIRECTLY TELLS US TO.
I see what you are refering to
This thread has people willing to sell you Mt Gox $ in various ways. If you post there I'm sure you can get a 1:1 exchange rate from paypal or something else.
Unfortunately I think that is very misleading and outdated information. You got to ask yourself...why doesn't MTGOX just take 1:1 PayPal then? I could be wrong, but from what I understand almost no one takes PayPal due to charge backs. Even if you offer someone 2:1 via paypal, the seller is still susceptible to the charge back. So why the heck would anyone take 1:1 paypal? There is nothing to gain and everything to lose for the seller.
I recommend offering payment via bank transfers and wire transfers with some kind of incentive (ie at least 1% on top).
No, I am not selling any of my bitcoins... I am posting this because I want to see MORE buyers into Bitcoin instead of a bunch of unfulfilled offers.
If I am way off here please tell me.
