Actually, I didn't use paypal for buying a bitcoin because there are many easy way to buy bitcoin than using paypal. Paypal for bitcoin is very hassle so that's why I didn't use it. I just using a service like a coinsph to buy a bitcoin. This was only an advice sir, it's up to you because the decision is yours.

Anyone here experienced to buy bitcoin using their PayPal.? How much the fees?
I am not used to using Paypal to buy Bitcoin but the fees is so small, it depends on how much your exchanger wants to take from you but it will still be so small, you fon't need to worry about that, just buy yourself and start your work, don't miss it.

If you search some topics here about this subject you will find that many users don't recommend using PayPal for buying Bitcoin because of high possibility for scam and chargeback. I advise you to stick to that unless you personaly know the person you are trading Bitcoin with PayPal. Otherwise you might regret it, I know many who were scamed that way.

A lot of people don't want to accept paypal due to the risk of chargebacks. Just transfer it to your bank account.

Yes people are avoiding the chargebacks from paypal that is why there are only few who buy bitcoin using paypal. In my country I can easily use fiat money  to buy bitcoin I just need to cash-in and then buy bitcoin after.

I have not used it but I have read some experiences. Paypal has buyer protection policy which enables the sender to retrieve payment even after several weeks after sending so it falls under high-risk category and thus no one usually trades using Paypal. Additionally, Paypal has some restrictions in my country so we can't even use its 100% features.

There are some websites where people sell Bitcoins for Paypal Dollars but I will not suggest them as they are too shady and Paypal will freeze the accounts if they come to know about it. Bitcoin is illegal for Paypal authority and you cant transact against Paypal. IMO, Paypal services are sh*tty and Bitcoin is way better service than them.

I have been using PayPal, but till now haven't made any transactions for buying bitcoin or for the trading necessities. While trading used to make btc/altcoins or btc/usd and withdraw it to the bank account and the btc to the wallets. I beieve using paypal is simple as that we use other payment services, but the charge might vary.

If you check into currency exchange board, you can find lot of highly reputed members are buying bitcoins for PayPal. But people will not trust you for accepting PayPal from you as you are still newbie. But you may go with escrow but it will be involving holding periods.

I don’t use paypal to buy bitcoin because of the high fee charged by sellers, I have seen 25% to 30% fees.  But of course, due to the higher risk of paypal dispute, sellers have to charge higher fees.

I don't prefer to use paypal for bitcoin purchases due to limitations and restrictions, but if you wanna try you can go with virwox safely. They're safe not like some other scammer web site.

Let me put their web site:

I would never ever do that because of many reasons one of them is fees, people think everyone paying with PayPal are scammers so they charge 30-40% fees normally , another issue is they will ask for your personal documents like selfie with id and then picture of passport. If you somehow have PayPal and want bitcoin just withdraw those funds to your bank (20$ fees ) or withdraw to your credit card (5$ fees + conversion fees) withdraw your funds and buy from local bitcoin the fees is max 5% through localbitcoin.

virwox sell bitcoins for paypal, and they are taking a big fee if you are doing this transaction, better to find other method how to deposit via localbitcoins or someother method which is without fee. Better idea to use credit or debitcard to buy a bitcoin, a lot of websites accept cards and the transaction would be more safer using web bank

The best is to have a friend agree to sell you some bitcoin in exchange for Paypal funds. It's based on the trust you both have. He doesn't need to be afraid to have a dispute open on his account or a chargeback. Of course, you don't tell to Paypal look at me I am buying Bitcoin.

1.  Selling Bitcoin for PayPal is against PayPal's policy.  If you get caught, you're screwed and PayPal will freeze your account.

2.  PayPal is a reversible system for money transfer.  If you attempt to buy Bitcoin with PayPal, people will assume that you are a scammer and give you negative trust.  Even if you are not a scammer it's shady activity, because it's very easy to issue chargebacks with PayPal and scam people for months after your transaction.

Reversible and non-reversible systems do not mix.  Trade on an exchange or using cash.

You can't buy bitcoin directly with paypal because it is against their TOS. Paypal is reversible method so you might have to pay a lot more than market price when buying from local guy or person over localbitcoins and paxful. You might end up paying over 20% in fees ...

I haven't yet...
but I am not interested in using PayPal to buy Bitcoin because PayPal is more complex rather than Bitcoin has those facilities. so PayPal is not required to use regarding this issue. I also suggest not to use PayPal because it requires a high amount of fees. so avoid it.

It's actually easy to do. You don't have to tell paypal you bought bitcoins using their service. The only problem is that people using paypal to buy bitcoins have a chance to charge back and the person selling bitcoins has no recourse when that happens. So if you are the one paying using paypal then you first need to be trusted before you can do so as no one will deal with you.

Paypal can lock your account for doing that. I think it is in their TOS. They will ask you what you bought or what sell. If evidence is weak, your account will likely unretrievable.
