You're hoping that "solid proof" is needed. Anyone can plainly see what you've been doing.
How many B&Ps via posts to this board would you estimate you've done over the years? I'm thinking around fifty. And you've done all of these by collecting money for shipping through a PayPal account. Is that or is that not correct? Answer the question!
Typically, when one is trading in the accepted, ethical way there is no need to cover postal expenses since both parties are sending materials to each other. What is generally done in a B&P trade is that the receiving party sends their blank(s) along with self-addressed postage. Thus, there is no need for a PayPal account to be involved; that's a transaction and not a trade. Providing a freight quote that leads to a monetary transaction is not the same as having the postage being included with the blank, and certain people are interested in knowing who you are.

My "nerves are showing"? That's interesting, given that I have nothing to be nervous about. All I'm saying is that claims such as yours require more evidence than your vague hints, especially since I've never dealt with you before.
I've done hundreds of B&Ps and CD-R giveaways over the years on this board (on both its old and new versions) - some of the time people paid postage through PayPal, some of the time they sent stamps, some of the time they simply got the CD-Rs for free. NEVER have I charged for discs, and NEVER have I charged more than actual postage (actually, I often rounded down).
"Self-addressed postage" - <sarcasm>oh yes, Dutch stamps and/or IRCs can be bought everywhere.</sarcasm>
Re nicfit's "I gladly paid him a more than reasonable price for dvds+postage": again, I only charged for postage - discs are so cheap nowadays.
