Is 25% good as a fee for purchasing BTC?

[Sceptic]

I’m about to buy BTC (not much, $400) through a stealth Paypal account.
I found a seller who’s offering to send me $400 in BTC for $500 through Paypal.
Is that a good rate or can I find lower fees?
I don’t want to use an exchange as it’s a stealth account

I found one exchanger for 15% on fb.

 

[BlueFlamed]

Some people are selling it for 10%

 

[bartosimpsonio]

Try localbitcoins the seller pays the fee.

 

[thetrustedzone]

I remember coinmama was taking 5%

That is a lot in my opinion. Is this deal protected through Escrow ?

Do you think looking for a seller through FB groups is a good idea?

Where?

Try localbitcoins the seller pays the fee.

Just found a seller there with a good reputation (500+, 96%), but he's asking for an F&F transaction and a chargeback hold period of 3 hours, is that normal?

This is a stealth account, not my main one, so I can't send verification docs to coinmama

I was thinking about using Escrow.com, then I found another seller on LocalBitcoins, and after taking a quick look, I found out that LocalBitcoins has its own escrow

So this is the best deal you found on that site ?

Yes, its normal. Everyone who does this kind of exchange is risking his paypal account.

did try virwox? you can use stealth paypal with virwox. their fees are generally high. but i don't think it would be around 25%.
but you need to have bit older account to make a purchase of around 500$.
try to buy a older account from someone and then purchase BTC on virwox.
or try to find someone with higher purchase limits on virwox
.

i always do it under 10%

Does Virwox support BTC?

i always do it under 10%

Where?

 

[Visual Eagle]

Phuuu the fee don't pay more then 8% or 10% (most sellers offer this).

Does Virwox support BTC?

yes they do. I have purchased in the past.

buy their currency Linden dollar using paypal then linden to BTC.

So expensive. I'll have some guy in my city which I meet from time time to trade and he only asks 4%. He owns a bitcoin atm, so maybe that's why his fees are so low. Don't know.

 

[LilMosey]

Where?

Localbitcoins or some other forum.. I dont think i am allowed to say the name..

 

[Thomas Shelby]

Is it allowed to post another site?

I always do a transaction or shopping there.

I had a succeed transaction with 10%, but I'm the one who post (WTB)

Sounds fine. Lots of sellers there ask for several hours. One purchase I made there took 24 hours.
