I'm not saying you are a scammer, i'm saying that 99% of the time paypal is used to buy bitcoins, it's a scam. So keep your eyes open if someone want to buy bitcoins with paypal

The scammer pay with paypal and receive BTC. Then do a chargeback and have back the money AND he also have the btc.

This of course do not apply only to paypal, it's the same with a lot of other way to pay.

Useless.

Chargeback and the scam is done. No way to get the bitcoin back then of course.

Well I'd like to buy normally through some other means, but I didn't realize that PayPal is such a taboo method of payment before I transferred $120 to my account on there.

I'd also be up for gifting a Steam game for BTC, there's no way I could take that back.

How is it useless? If I have multiple transactions with 100% on my eBay account, wouldn't that make me seem like a legitimate buyer? I've also traded and given away video games on reddit.

Scam detected.

Verifying is useless.

I can verify my account through eBay or reddit if you'd like.  

Thanks.
