Seems shady to me. Aren't chargebacks really scary this time?

Bottom line Paypal seems to be the choice favorite by new people to the forum looking to scam. More than likely he wants it sent as a gift/donation. PayPal is much easier to scam people whether you are buying BTC with paypal or selling BTC for paypal.

This is true, but it's also the choice for honest newbs/beginners to get their hands on some BTC easy and without the hassle of exchanges and bank transfers etc. The protection it offers buyers is also unfortunately its downfall.

Yeah but that's not whats going on here. He's selling BTC and asking for a paypal payment. The only problem is that he's asking for the money first. Then saying things like "I never send first". When he has about 10 posts and no confirmed transactions. He's never sent anything as far as we know.

I suppose I could always charge back if I don't get the coins, but that's more effort than I willing to go through. Bottom line this screams scam to me.

Sounds like a scam to me too.

There's been a lot of people recently coming on the forums wanting to pay with PayPal or accept PayPal. I don't think even one has been legitimate.


I am sure this guy is going to get an endorsement from another junior with 5 posts. I guess we will have to wait and see. I would suggest to everyone to stay away though.

I bought off of Monbux with Paypal today and all went well. This week was the first time buying BTC without going through an exchange, had not really been aware of the chargeback issues until trying to purchase some coins which obviously turned out to be difficult. It only illustrates why BTC is so important as a payment method, it offers a way to receive money without risk of charge back. I can't wait until I am free of fiat...

I think this guy is a scammer. I sent him a PM and he responded to me saying

Quote
i never send first , i like 50% Money 100% BTC and later 50% money , ONLY if u are verified .

im selling at 700$ ea i have 4.49"

Selling far below exchange rate, he's a junior member and he is expecting money first. Be cautious.

If anyone has successfully traded with this guy please say so.

I have already PMed you, I cannot send first.  We can start with a micro transaction, like $60 USD worth.  How's that?

I will buy with paypal.. dont mind to escrow as I want to establish my reputation here.  There are so many scammers in this #bitcoin world.

We need a good global reputation system..

I can also send funds directly with Wells Fargo if that's ok

I will buy BTC via PayPal. I won't send first to a junior member either.

Monbux is trustworthy as well, dealt with him today.
