This is what annoys me about Bitcoin.
I come and post in a Marketplace and no one wants to do a deal because I don't have a history of doing deals. How the hell can I have a history of doing deals if no one will do a deal?
Sure, PayPal is reversable, but if I send someone money with my address in the notes box on the transaction, and they have a screenshot of their wallet sending me the money - there is next to no chance I am winning that dispute and my account gets flagged. Also, little does anyone mention the seller not sending BTC in return AFTER getting the funds. I am putting just as much trust in someone who I agree to do a deal with as they are putting in me. The trust is all in the seller in fact as the seller is the one who gets funds first!
I don't get it.
For the record on LocalBitcoins there are very few sellers in my country. I bought the balance of one seller and another is charging 27% fee for a cash transaction - which is absurd. Amazingly, he has over 3,000 transactions in his history.
Your statement about reversals is completely wrong. Regardless of evidence provided, submitting a claim will result in a reversal of funds. Hands down, no contention. The way to get trust and get a history is to do deals that are safe first. You cannot come in and want someone to risk over $300 sending money to an account that is less than a month old, then get mad that no one wants to deal with you. You need to start out doing deals with non reversible methods and using escrows as middlemen. You also need to spend more time learning the ropes and how things work and contributing to gain trust. As the seller, you are putting no trust in anyone through a Paypal transaction, because you can always reverse and always win.
Also, its weird that you note that no one will deal with you, but you magically somehow "know" how paypal/bitcoin transactions work? That is a huge red flag for me, and if I didn't know any better, that statement just seems like a cry out to get someone to feel bad for you so you can scam them. I offered you other viable options, even ones you can use a credit card for, and you still got mad. Honestly, my scam radar is rising the more and more I think about this.
