It could be worse. Once you get out of newbie jail put a trade offer in the marketplace. But don't offer PP as people will think you're a scammer lol. You can try Skrill but I have no opinion on it as I haven't tried it.
This is good advice - don't bother offering Paypal or they will call you a scammer straight away!
Better off buying BTC through another service - just use google (and then google again to make sure the service you use isn't a scam)
