Because I didnt want the money to touch swedish grounds - Tax. (I later learned by the Financial Supervisory authority that bitcoin is not yet an official currency, therefore it is just goods, but I think I still would need to tax around 25%)
Sell on ebay -> paypal, paypal -> buy goods on ebay .
That was my idea.
It was stupid.
Topic: got scammed bigtime - ebay - page 2. (Read 1275 times)
Why on earth would anyone sell over ebay?? You're basically bending over and lubing up and begging to get ripped off.
I have filed a police report, but I cant sue. If I loose (wich I most likly will, I have to pay all costs for (all, both sides) attorneys and trial. The system in sweden is very unfair. I can risk loosing 100 000USD in costs if I loose, If I win, I get back my ~8000USD. Its not worth fighting for.
Me myself would like to see a maximum cost for trials in sweden. (instead, if the trial is low-cost you dont have to pay, fucked up imo..)

File charges against paypal in sweden for damages. Expose Paypal as not safe abd sue them for your money. How did you know those funds they approved where stolen etc, They are responsible Get a lawyer.
I do have contact with one of the scammed buyers. She sais she still havent recieved her funds. My account is frozen and funds removed. What does paypal usually do about this?
Seems like avoiding PayPal is a recurring theme. Very sorry to hear it cost you so much 
Buy or Sell on BitMit.us next time.
Hello forum!
Yes, Now it was my turn.
I have been mining for a while and decided to sell off all my bitcoins for some cash to invest in both new hardware, and to build a new server room for myself. I have been mining for fun the first years and been mining more lately.
My rig is rather small 5x 6870 and I pull out around 1550MH/s. But I put some money in this over the years upgrading. The first bitcoin I mined some years ago.
I decided to sell over ebay for fast cashout, And It went well, very well I though. sold during the past 4 weeks around 63BTC to my paypal. But 4 days ago, all my funds at paypal got frozen. My ebay account frozen. I have been scammed all time long and the person buying have been using hacked ebay and paypal accounts to pay me. it seams to be the same person all time..
I succeeded to cash out ~150USD and my BTC account has the impressive 0.00069 left. I got scammed 8200USD.
The reason I post is only to warn you guys. There is money in bitcoin, Bitcoin is a digital 'thing' and therefore you are not under sellers protection. All my funds have been removed. I have made police-report but since I live in sweden nothing will happend. I have been holding a very low profile - Actually this is my first time I have an account here. I been reding this forum for a long time!
FYI here is the transaction of one of the transactions.

The funds are moving around the world..
I cant tell if I've been scammed from same person or not.
I'm sad, anger but I am still healthy, I been though a tough lesson!
What can we do about scams? Bitcoin police?
Well, keep safe!
