Such short sightedness by PayPal... Sure they could consider bitcoins a competitor to their business... but the need to easily convert between bitcoin & fiat exists and likely to persist "forever".. so providing an easy way for people to trade and convert, they make $$$ on their high fees (which I'm willing to pay for convenience).

To be honest, I've bought and sold tons of stuff on eBay w/ PayPal and had only one problem long long ago where seller didn't send my purchase and disappeared (before the days of guarantees). They work pretty good and IMO offer good service.

However, I'm pretty discouraged that they would always favour the buyer, especially when there is such easy proof of the transaction.

I'm just starting with bitcoin, and I want to buy some.. I want to buy 10 BTC right now from my computer and I can't.

Got my first $200 worth off coinbase.. took a week.. just initiated a wire transfer with coinsetter.. there goes another week..

Hey I was able to buy $25 instantly since my first transaction at coinbase went through.. next week I can do another one..
