Oh yeah, that's what we need.

For Facebook (the NSA's friendly right arm), to track Bitcoin transactions and addresses.

The whole point of BTC is to avoid that....

DUH !!

When you sign up for MtGox or any of the other exchanges, you have to hand in bank statements, utility bills and government issued ID to people you've never met before. You don't think the NSA can see that?

FWC just needs to know if you're a friend of the seller. And Facebook Connect does not mean the site has to give Facebook access to their database. They can't see what's going on within the site. It's just used for authentication to see if you and the seller/buyer are friends.

Yes i dont like this idea, also its very hard to find friends who actually know what BTC is.

I prefer staying anonymous and going on exchanges even, but even that is not anonymous and can be tracked.

i still prefer this over regular cash i really do.

Leek, do you have to send in verification or prove who i am, some sites have the KYC know your customer policy
which i dont like because by sending in documents the purpose if anonymity which is the whole point of bitcoin
is defeated.
I will take a look at friends with coins since i need a site, but can you help me with that question

No, you don't have to send in verification since you're not buying BTC's from the site but from people who you might know or who your friends might know. The site connects you to those people.

Sent an email to PayPal reporting this site for violating Paypal's accepted use policy. Hopefully paypal shuts this down before more people uses it and loses the money (paypal has been known to reverse all transactions befor, look at thebitman). Your account balance will be negative and you'll (the users who use coinpal) receive calls from paypal's collection department.

Help out, go here:

https://www.paypal.com/us/webapps/helpcenter/helphub/home/?action=emailus

Email us

Report Fraud / Prohibited Use

High Risk Business / Prohibited Use


Why did I report it? Because the sooner this is shut down (this WILL be shut down), the less victims there will be.

Paypal does not care about charge back rates - the original coinpal had 0.7% chargeback rate and got shut down, even after assurance previously from paypal what they are doing is OK. Look at FastCash4Bitcoins which did something similar and are now shut down. Nobody escapes the wrath of paypal - if you think you are special, you ARE a scammer as your customers will be victims when paypal reverses transactions.

You sound paranoid. He is not in the US, and Paypal chargeback team hardly messes up with people outside the US, to avoid expensive legal procedures and possibility of foreign governments restricting their use.

Omg i dont know why people want to get bitcoin to paypal or other way around it is proven bad method.
This is not the way to exchange coins. it is not safe and as you can see businesses cant profit from it.

The safest way is P2P or WU, etc, not paypal, too many fraud attempts, chargeback etc its not worth it..

its a shame paypal is bad though but that is because of paypals security system.

Seems to be gone...

There is another alternative for Bitcoin to PayPal exchange. This payment service provider (aff. link*) also work with many payment systems. You can exchange your bitcoins to USD or RUB sent to your Visa or MasterCard (only works with non-US cards).

* Disclosure: this is my affiliate link, I may receive commission if you sign up and use this service.

Is this service still running?As lately I've been getting messages like 403 when I try to access the link or not even accessible in some cases.Has the company gone bust or is it being rennovated and will come back at a later time?As I'd love a much easier option than dealing with Mt Gox as they want my ID before I can trade now (they say it can take up to 10 working days).

my order confirmation email was completely empty, but funds transferred all fine and quick so I guess I am not complaining. Scared me for a second but it all works great!

Great service and experience.

The network was slow yesterday, but they even sent me the $$ before full confirmation of the BTC I sent them.

No problems whatsoever.

Just curious - which BTC exchange do you use for determining the BTC valuation when it comes to converting to USD?
CoinPal uses Bitstamp to come up with the BTC valuation.

From there Coinpal adds a 7% fee.

Thank you.

We are currently having issues with high demand.

We respectfully ask you all please hold off on any new orders until further notice.

We're changing some things on our site that will allow us to throttle orders as they come in so that we can server you better.

Regards.

I'm glad I saw a service like this.Can I get them converted into GBP (as I'm based in the UK)?If not does PayPal convert USD to GBP once you get the cash into your account? If I need help with a transaction what can I do to get this?What recourse do I have if something gets lost (it happens sometimes)?In case you're wondering I'm new to the service and wish to know more before signing up as it looks pretty handy.Thanks Smiley
Yes PP can do currency conversion.
