Topic: This what happen when you sell bitcoin for Paypal (Read 1720 times)

You have probably traded with a reputable trader that had no interest to do a chargeback on you. It's different when you have unknown people buying bitcoins for Paypal.

Even birds on the trees know until now that PayPal should be absolutely avoided. I would trust a Paypal transaction only if I know where the guy lives that I trade with and I know him personally. But in this situation, I wouldn't even need PayPal to do a trade!

The essential is to stay away from PayPal!

I used localbitcoins once. Exchanged some BTC for 9$ paypal. No problem for me.

However, on exchange websites the amount should be small.

True that. Deal with a trusted site and try avoiding newbies as much as you can. Your BTCs are safe as long as you trade in smaller amounts with a number of people rather than bulk dealing with an individual. Common sense can do wonders!

I've been dealing with PayPal for the past 5 years and the fact I've never been charged back is because I've always dealt with only trusted people. If you use trusted exchangers like xmlgold or trade with reputed members of the forum, chances are very less than the cash will be chargedback. It's not only bitcoins but trading for any digital good/product can be chargedback via PP and hence even ebay had stopped users from selling their ebooks/egift cards and they deleted my listing when I wanted to sell my ebook for PP. Localbitcoins also is a trusted site but you need to deal with trusted buyers and not newbies or people with less reputation.

You just need to be selective in Bitcoins for Paypal deal, I've seen several users here with successful feedback due to a successful transaction for Bitcoin for Paypal. No offense to the newbies but never trust those ranks for Paypal.
