You can buy bitcoin on ebay.... Even in the USA...

I just saw that but is it reliable? Could someone not rip you off that way?

Yes they can. You can search the forums for many scammer stories regarding e-bay and bitcoins(litecoins) etc. The most common scam being paypal chargebacks or disputing the charge on thier CC after you transfer the coins to them.

I meant could a seller scam you but thanks for the information. I looked on ebay and the bitcoins are all horribly overpriced.

They can't scam you as long as you verify the coins were confirmed. Once coins are sent, there is no going back unless whoever received them decided to send them back.

I meant would they be able to take your money on ebay and never send you the coins?

That's a hard one. PayPal states that people buying and selling BTC is against their TOS, so I'm not sure who they would side with in that case.

Hello everyone,

As the title of the thread might suggest I need some bitcoins? can i bum some off of you? I know I know, not another begger i've seen plenty of people begging all over the board. but still here is my address.

Now that i got my begging taken care of (hehe), I have a serious question.

Why doesn't Satoshi ever post? Where Is he? Is he still active in the community, perhaps under an alternate name? Is Satoshi his real name?

Thanks in advance, i've been wondering about this for a while now.

You can get free BTC off the BTC Faucet Rotator, without even having to beg, :p.
