Topic: buying bitcoins with PayPal 72hour hold safe? (Read 945 times)
I just tried it and it worked fine!
I buy with Paypal sometimes and just send a "gift" and then you can't do a chargeback so should be ok
If the other person claims he was hacked, that is fraudulent usage, paypal WILL reverse.

Bought 30 Bitcoins, hope it all goes smoothly ... will see in 3 days time
bought through paypal multiple times. good for buyer if you don't mind the higher price. bad for seller I assume vis a vis fraud/chargebacks etc.
Is it safe for me to buy?
Yes, it is safe to buy. It is however not safe to sell.

Thanks. Any more input?
Totally, done it numerous times, buy with confidence.
nope the account hacked trick still works all the way up to 30 days and sometimes longer... if you have to buy bitcoin with paypal then you need to be a very trusted person as the seller takes all the risks. i use paypal as little as possible for selling bitcoins unless its someone iv done many many trades with and i trust alot
if your a buyer then your a bit safer but you will pay a premium most of the time

As above alot of sellers are offering bitcoins via PayPal but holding the funds for 72 hours. Is it any safer for buyer / seller?
