This site claims to allow BTC sellers to profit 10% above the current market price by reselling the Bitcoins to buyers in middle east. You simply need either a bank account, WU or Paypal. The site claims no registration is required and it is anonymous.

You simply click on let's say Paypal button, a receiving address will pop up and you need to key in your receiving Paypal address.

I have not tried this service yet.

I found one potential problem with the site:

(1) The receiving address that was generated and presented to you to send your funds to is not unique. I looked through blockchain for that address and realised it is a recycled address. How could the site knows that you are the one who deposited the funds?

And the reason for you for never trying their service and this is it.

I do not trust badbitcoins.org because they listed MiningSweden as legitimate. The last I checked, they did not list MiningSweden as a bad site despite M.S has stopped payments.

Hemmmm... seems like badbitcoin is bad from your sentences, with slowly a good site is turn up into a shady site.. but for the power btc is a real scam site
