i have paypal for bitcoin, willing to use escrow, looking to buy .35 bitcoins.

paypal transactions are reversible thus making the escrow service useless. You better try virwox cos this is the safest way i know to buy btc using paypal and as far as i know paypal may ban your account if you are using their service to buy bitcoins

I just wanted to chime in & note that I have just read hundreds of reviews accusing Virwox of scamming them. I find it ridiculous that you can be a senior member & not be aware of this & actually steer someone away from buying btc on this site & direct them to a known scam site. lol Not to mention you say its the "safest way"..incredible.

On the contrary, Virwox IS safe.
The only bad Virwox reviews come from a website called Bittrust. If you'd actually read some of these reviews (as you claim you did) you'd realize that the people there are all angry either because of the high fees or because they got refunded and their account closed.
Upon registration, Virwox gives you a generated password which you must change (and they state that very clearly), if you don't change that password then your account will be closed after a certain time period, it's not their fault if people don't pay attention.
So don't throw accusations without researching the validity of what you read. He also said it's the safest way "he knows", which makes his statement opinionated.
