There is no trust in the world lol

There is no trust in the bitcoin world lol
Be careful using otc!
How to be careful using OTC? What rating did the person have when you had a bad experience?
Looking for insight into OTC> Thanks!

If you looking on bitcoin otc ( http://bitcoin-otc.com/ ) you can search for people willing to sell for BTC. They usually charge about 5-10% premium due to the added risk.
Have you given otc a shot, yet?
I'll tell you what. Lets flip the risk around, and I'll do the trade for you. Do you have the ability to acquire U.S. currency anywhere nearby?
If so, send me a PM for my mailing address. Mail me a U.S. $20 bill, and include your bitcoin address in the envelope. When I receive it, I'll transfer you 1 BTC.
That way you get the bitcoin at a slight discount (MtGox Weighted Average is currently $20.40), I don't have to take a risk with someone that doesn't have a reputation yet, and you get a chance to build up your reputation around here a bit.
This offer is only good if I receive the PM from you before 2013-02-05 23:59:59 UTC
Of course in this situation you take all the risk. Risk that I'll tarnish my reputation to steal $20 from you, and risk that the envelope will get lost in the mail. If you want to reduce that risk a bit, pay for confirmation of delivery. That way you'll at least know whether or not I received the envelope.

This is exactly why I believe the future of bitcoin exchange for newbies will be in workforce development, not cash-for-coin exchanges. It's just too difficult to break into still (and possibly in the future depending on law changes and exchange longevity), but there is always work ready to be done in exchange for coins.
@OP: Why not change the title of your thread to "Will do any job for 1 BTC" and I bet you'd get a dozen PMs for various small tasks.

For some reason I just don't feel people will be that willing to give up 1 btc for a small task, considering it is approx. $20 at the moment.
Someone offered me 5 BTC a while ago to make a CSS template for them. Someone else is charging 0.01 BTC to draw a picture. The market around here is not exactly "fixed" so you may have to work for the opportunity, but I guarantee you'll get more luck with that than this.

Why don't you try it and see what jobs are offered?
We sell to people though facebook who have new accounts they just have to load a picture of their drivers licence to us through gmail. The pay pal and drivers licence and any other information must match. I am currently out of coins I used the one I had last night to buy litcoins with. I will let you know when i get more. Thanks

Or just use https://localbitcoins.com/ and pay with cash.
Problem with localbitcoins is the closest place is still a distance from me.Canada, closest place would be Toronto or Markham for me.
He is not making an unreasonable request. It is a small amount, and I'll bet he is open to other payment options. It's the PayPal part that no one wants.
What about selling something for bitcoin? People often forget this option. Think about something you have that you would part with for a low price.

What if I started with a smaller amount like 0.25 btc to gain trust?
That is how we do it sorry no exceptions.

I wouldn't mine paying a bit extra to someone on here willing to do the transaction, and to the guy above I do not have a fb account sorry.
I will sell you one bitcoin for pay pal but you have to go through my process. If you have a facebook you can start by going to bitcoin friends and liking our page. Then look under photos for our process page. Thanks
