I don't need escrow, but you go first.

You don't need escrow, but what if I need escrow?

New account, no escrow, not sending first. Good one...
classic red flags, the three of them. Some people must be stupid enough to fall for these scams or they wouldn't keep doing it right...

How do you scam when you're receiving Paypal?

There has been a recent flood of people wanting to sell BTC for PayPal, and here's how their scam works:

1. Brand new user posts an ad wanting to sell BTC for PayPal
2. He will refuse escrow, using the excuse that "you can always reverse the PayPal charge" (sounds reasonable, no?)
3. He will insist that you send him PayPal first, again using the same excuse listed above
4. Once he receives money, he transfers it to a VCC, cashes it out, and abandons his disposable PayPal account, never to be heard from again. By the time you get around to filling a dispute, he already has cash hand.

I'd encourage any potential buyers to make sure he puts those coins into escrow first before sending him any money. For a list of trusted escrowers here on the forum just check the Escrow Whitelist

People are getting lazier and lazier at scamming by the day.

How do you scam when you're receiving Paypal?

Could you please quote the amount of BTC you're offering for USD 250 publicly; we don't all work in USD here. Cheers.

Someone who's stupid enough to make a post like the OP obviously will try to scam with Paypal. I've seen it done before. They don't know that a few months down the line they'll start getting letters in the mail and calls from collections. He could be using a hacked Paypal too, scammers are known to do that.

Usually it's the other way round, oh well.

Right. So: I'm looking for $250 in PayPal USD, paying Bitcoin.

Your PayPal for my Bitcoin.

One more thing: I don't need escrow, but you go first. If you cannot grasp that key concept, don't offer. Cheesy
