Title: Pay by paypal = safe?
Post by: pillbuyer on September 21, 2012, 11:45 pm
Hi.
Im highly interested in buying some stuff here, thing is: getting bitcoins is being impossible for me, but i can pay with paypal without any problems.
Would you recommend doing this?
I have been thinking about buying from ST and/or chemical brothers.. Both seems legit but im new here so i dont know if they work with paypal often.

Did any of you pay with paypal before?
Feedback on this will be appreciated.

Thanks.

The answer is don't do it. Read some more about getting BTC.

I don't think you understand how SR works. Bitcoins is secure and anonymous, PayPal is not. No vendors take PayPal and ignore any private messages from scammers saying they will accept it, having created this topic.

Don't be a dumbass.

Why you such a prick to newbies? oh it's Limitless, the wiseass ;D

Newbie find the wiki and read it. Find the sticky guides, and read them.
I think there is stuff in the security forum. It's different in each country.
Don't buy anything for a week until you, read, read, read, til you eyes bleed.
There's more then Bitcoins to learn. Otherwise be prepared to loose lots of money.Pick a vendor, go to rumor forum, and use the search function.

Love,

Classy.

OP, spend some time and read all the stickies of each sub-forum first. Especially the Security sub-forum. There's some stuff you'll want to learn, like WHY PayPal and other methods are a terrible idea. Also read up on PGP.

Best of luck!
