I'm on the opposite end of the transaction - I'd like to buy some BTC but everyone is (rightly) so scared that the only mechanism available is via bank account. Great...except im not in the US. I'd have to string together multiple online currencies to arrive at something that is accepted. Or trust a tiny local exchange. So much hassle to cover VPN costs...

Why not send a small postcard with the license key that requires them to sign to get the postcard? Give them an instant key good for 14 days and then make them use the one on the postcard for long term use. Then you'll have your proof (and be pretty close to PayPal's chargeback limit)
You don't need to send him a different key in the post. Give him the key digitally and send the same key via post.
My favorite part is his earnest naivety in somehow thinking he wasn't the mark and in believing that Paypal would ever side on his behalf. This just further confirms my suspicions that you have to be retarded to get involved with bitcoin. No group of people is so easily and quickly persuaded into losing their money, and so readily eager to repeat said behavior over and over again, than bitcoiners.
How exactly am I gonna lose my money with Bitcoin? It has been there for many years, and it has grown x20. My dollars, on the other hand, have only devalued each year. There's no scam, if there's no scammer. Think about it.
Ironically if you had sent it through the post on a USB key you'd be in the clear. Kinda takes the point out of bitcoin though doesn't it?
Shipping the USB key isn't 100% fraud-proof. If you think the point of Bitcoin/Litecoin is being able to transact with it quickly and easily over eBay, you might want to look into the other things you can do with these new currencies.

If I bought software and they were going to send me a postcard with a license key, I would be pretty annoyed.

That's a pretty good idea, customers might even appreciate the "thank you" note. You do need to get their address though.

If it looks too good to be true, it probably is :)
At $300 yes, but what about $130? BTC isn't the easiest thing to dive into as a NOOB.

The reason you don't want to do that is because they can just reject the postcard. That's why you have to give them needed info on the card. The point of the temp key is so they can get immediate satisfaction.
>I have never traded stocks. I have never taken an economics course. I have never aspired to be someone who trades money for money. This is how someone becomes greedy. >As an advocate of privacy, Bitcoin intrigued me at a fundamental level. Trying to make money was (hopefully) merely a side effect. Just a side effect! >I would be scraping maybe $5-10 every BTC, and I would have to wait weeks to see the money. I also…
He wasn't "getting sucked into the game" or being greedy. Are you trying to say that anyone who tries to make money through arbitrage is greedy or has no right to be angry at Wall Street?
