Re: Paypal stealth cashout to bitcoin service.
I don't know anyone in this thread, so I'm not taking any sides, but just to add to the conversation (and some info for us to consider, which is the whole point of the thread and forum)...
The price of 20% (or anything 10% or higher) makes COMPLETE sense to me... because I'm in the market for some BTC to learn how to use wallets, pay some small things, and get my feet wet. The only "play around" money I have is what I can sell online, and I can buy things for my personal fun with PP much easier than explaining to the Mrs. how $400 worth of parts for a custom mechanical keyboard makes sense when she didn't have snow tires this year.
If I'm going to pay 5-10% to get $200 in BTC, I'd much rather pay 20% (if that's even the price) which is $40 to be able to cash out some PP for it, especially if the seller is Aspkin-approved. I realize this isn't an Aspkin guarantee, but in my book it's a serious bit of peace of mind for me (ie: Aspkin should get his 0.5% for branding).  At the same time, I wouldn't be involved in selling it for even 40%, so I'm glad someone on here is making it a service available to us.
Everything is about perspective, what works for you might not work or make sense for the next guy. I don't know why some people would buy $300 in Tesla stock when they could just take that same $300 and buy 2 cases of thing-a-ma-jigs on Alibaba and sell them on E*ay and in a month have $900, yet some people do. Or just because you spend $900+ on a new iPhone doesn't mean you are dealing in bad things and need to invest in a phone the law can't get into. Everyone has their own reasons and situations, and they're not always sinister (or greedy) just because it doesn't make sense to me.
I want a paid membership in some forum that only takes BTC, and so that's how I got to looking at learning how to use it in the first place, and I was personally THRILLED when I noticed that an Aspkin-approved seller was one of the choices, regardless of the price.
