Title: Trading PTS with PayPal
Post by: pvaladares on December 12, 2013, 01:40:20 am

I have ~ 100 USD in PayPal and would like to buy PTS.
So far I could not track any trading service which uses PayPal.

Actually, is there any service PTS or BTC accepting PayPal ?

Hi,

People don't like dealing with PayPal and I wouldn't recommend it for the following reasons:

1)  PayPal do not protect against tangible products.
2)  This means PayPal will happily reverse the transaction and PTS / BTC will be lost.

Hope that helps.

Thank you.

In the meanwhile I searched in PayPal and the FAQ about this subject.

Don't buy coins on ebay is risky.  You should use Virwox here is how to do it :
