I generally agree, but this small experiment turned out well. Do you have suggestions for other ways to transfer instead of PayPal? As I would prefer to avoid using it in the future, too.
I'm surprised I see lots of guys near me on Offerup and Craigslist selling Bitcoin via Paypal. I wouldn't do it because it's wrong and I'm too nice but it would be so easy to buy 2 Bitcoins , open a claim with Paypal and you'd have your money back within hours. Can be very risky. Aside from that Paypal would consider this running a currency exchange or MSB activities and would close your account down if they find out your doing it as well

It's a good idea for the buyer - not for the seller.
