if in UK use bitbargain
or you could always use trusted members here, for example mods only, legendary members etc who deal in escrow for small fee and have trusted feedback

I would avoid paypal unless you are on a hurry, then you could go Virwox (FIAT->SSL->BTC route) but like has been said before, fees are a bit of a joke.

Well as I said, I've sold 0.01 and 0.02 as testers today and the payments are in my account....at a decent rate too.
Where is the scam?

PayPal chargebacks can bite you as long as 30 days. You money is not safe until next month. This site could be legit. As far as I know, PayPal and bitcoin don't mix.
I was stung with a chargeback after selling a small amount of bitcoin on Ebay around 18 months ago.
I'll now wait and see if I get one on these two tiny transactions.
If not....I'll do one for 0.03

The site looks like a scam as it has no proper design nor any description on the home page with just 4 tabs. 
The person who created the website did not even invest some time to make it look presentable and the English is 
. http://weofferbitcoins.com/about-bitcoins/
I would recommend not to try this website.

Sent 0.02 20 minutes ago......this time the cash was in my paypal account inside 12 minutes with only 2 confirmations showing at blockchain.info
I'm happy so far.

Hm, I would pass on this. Use more reputable options to avoid getting scammed.

Scam?...in what way?
Surely they won't do a chargeback on me.....if others are selling them bitcoin as well as me, wouldn't paypal smell a rat if they claimed loads of different people had received their cash but not sent them the bitcoin?

Looks like a shitty site made via wordpress. I dont deal with paypal because of things like this, they are easy scams.
March 30, 2015, 02:36:13 PM
very bad for a claim to send it within 5 minutes maybe they are praying for a bigger purchase, I think that is why they were so confused. dont let them game you. They wouldn't risk that little to be calling out a scam.
I'll now do one for 0.02 and see what happens.

Their site says paypal payments within 5 minutes.
I sent 0.01 as an experiment 90 minutes ago.
Nothing paid in to my paypal as yet....I'll post when/if it happens.
I've been out last few hours.....just got in and the cash ($2.48) went into my paypal account at 15.16 GMT.....just over three hours after I sent the 0.01 btc.I sent 0.01 as an experiment 90 minutes ago.

Not so bad.

And not risk-free as well. Why risk your money and reputation, buying Bitcoin from such shady sites? I don't know why this obsession with Paypal is there. Why don't use Localbitcoins and buy the BTC directly?
except that not everyone feels safe about meeting and exchanging hundreds of dollars for bitcoin with a stranger.
I do agree that there's better options than paypal out there, though.
Well.... meet the buyer at a public place (such as a cafeteria or a library), and there is hardly any chance that he will rob you. Also, the reputation is quite a big thing with Localbitcoins. None of the established sellers would risk their reputation for a few hundred USD.

site is an easy 10 minutes to make, I call it a scam site, just for the fact they only buy bitcoins with paypal.
Yes, its a nice wordpress site
I once tried another site to purchase with paysafe card, was a scam of course. No trust in such sites any more.

Too expensive.

Looks a bit shady 
A touch too expensive for general liking dont you think?
I don't have the adv of using paypal in our country but some of pal uses some other sites, and those are cheaper in transaction and conversion rate.

Only place I have bought bitcoins with paypal at market rate + little fee (0.3% i think) is in uciex
I purchased about 7 Bitcoins there, went smooth

Never heard of that site before. I'd avoid using paypal to buy/sell any bitcoin regardless of the amount, there's just too much risk involved. The most tried and tested way is virwox but even that seems a lot of hassle when you can just use sites like localbitcoins.
