I'm not sure if Paxul itself is a scam organization or not but I can say for sure that this website is a heaven for all kinds of scammers. I deposited around 0.8 bitcoins there and tried to sell them via Paypal (I know, it's stupid) and within just a couple of hours, I was approached by several scammers... I consider myself lucky that I managed to walk away without being scammed, the admins always decided the dispute in my favor despite the scammers trying their best to convince them. In any case, I decided to move out of Paxful and take my business elsewhere, it's too much of a headache and waste of time trying to buy/sell bitcoins there, even if the dispute system is functional it takes several hours to 48 hours to resolve one and coins are locked for that duration. I wouldn't recommend Paxful to anyone unless it's the last or only option available for you.
