The 1 BTC appeared instant.  Took a an hour or two to confirm it.

My wallet doesn't show any BTC transactions, does it take longer to receive the BTC because it's higher than 1 BTC?

Yep.

So if you look at her address she used, you can see the 1 BTC she sent when we were testing teh waters after I sent her $10, but there is no amount for 25 BTC.  Does this mean I have been duped for certain, or can it take time?  She said the amount was sent, but it does not appear that way. 

Anyone seen BTC take so long to even show up in someone's wallet?

How long did the 1 BTC take?

You may get your PP account/funds frozen for 180 if you notify PP. I will never understand why people continue to  risk using PP for BTC transactions. Good luck to you nonetheless.

Alright, I will wait a day.  She was VERY responsive in her emails and seemed intelligent, coherent, and friendly.  She really doesn't strike me as a scammer, but I have been burned before and it sucked.

Thanks for popping in and giving your input guys.  I have a lot of bitcoin politics to learn.

So time to contact paypal?

Wait until tomorrow or I will think that the scammer is you.

I'd give her a day to contact you here or by email.  Could just be a silly mistake, and waiting a day won't change anything with PayPal.

If it had been sent to that address, it would already appear in block explorer.

In an email she said

"By the way, I'll assign the same wallet address to you as I use for the rest of bitcointalk.org: 1516rnmGUDeF4vyBX3NDR5eXd22yKZdPHR"

So I assume that's the address she sends it from?

By wallet I mean a BTC address that is handled online instead of the bitcoin client.

The address in the image is her receiving address.

And what do you mean by "wallet"?

In the beginning I requested proof of her BTC.  Here's the pic she sent

http://i.imgur.com/t7171.png

 The address in that pic is

1DyrWHVDrnredkQPdKbjaxMMatMLNLauY9

The "wallet" she used is

1516rnmGUDeF4vyBX3NDR5eXd22yKZdPHR

Going by that site you mentioned, I see no 25BTC transactions anywhere.

If you guys think I have been scammed (considering she said she sent the BTC, which you all saw) what's the best way to handle this?  Thank you guys so much for your help and feedback to a newb such as myself.

My address I used is 1MeQai3fHDsHcdVLS12muKeySobqxuwcXZ

Think it's time I contact paypal?  Could someone guide me through on how to recollect my funds that I sent via paypal.

Is your client caught up to the current block?

Can you check the address on blockexplorer.com, or post the address here so we can check it?

Still no BTC in my wallet's history... Should I be concerned?

Everything okay on your end Raeldi?  Any bumps?

Seems Raeldi is from Holland and now there is too late, maybe she has gone already but fortunately you've made this trade through paypal and you know, chargeback, but she may appear in any time until tomorrow.

The lesson is don't hurry to sell, even less to a user who has only a few posts and no reputation and don't buying from someone who is in a "hurry". Be careful and suspicious.
