Topic: Best Paypal -> BTC method? (Read 7756 times)

It cost about 10% to do so but you can buy with paypal. I have done this twice

If any one have to purchase online then Paypal is the most popular and favourite option which is generally supported  by every website. User also trust on it for making payment via their credit card or debit card.

While I agree they might be trolling, they are doing it based on experience of how paypal -> btc exchanges have lead to a lot of situations like this:

"I tried to sell my 220btc to this guy who was going to pay me $2200 USD for them via paypal"
"After the transaction was complete, he reversed it"
"Paypal sided with him, even though I provided proof, I did infact trade him in bitcoins and I have all these emails to prove this agreement, and this link showing the blockchain shows he got it moments afterwards."

There are various versions of this story, over 200 Btc lost via a paypal reversal was just the largest one I remember seeing.
Deal with the exchanges, which one that happens to operate in your country I don't know.

I once liked paypal as much as the next guy when everything works fine, but I know all to well, they are can screw you worse than any bank or individual could. In this community paypal has gained the reputation as a tool to screw people out of their bitcoins, because paypal sides with the one doing the reversal everytime.

1. Withdraw money from PayPal to bank account
2. Wire transfer money from bank account to exchange (e.g. bitstamp.net or intersango.com)
3. Buy BTC

Good for you... the trolls might be working for Paypal.. some of them have low post counts.

It depends on who you deal with. Is everybody corrupt?


If you deal with the right person, it is never "too late"

Never try to use PayPal for any Bitcoin transactions, they never side with the BTC owner, even if you offer them tangible proof. There are much safer methods out there for a reason!

There is a reason why no one sell bitcoins via paypal  And those who do, later always understand. But then it's too late 

Scam detected? lol, man this forum is full of trolls.


I did a successful trade on bitcoinary.com with AnthonyKLF.


Was too easy and im happy with my bitcoins.

Scam detected

Is PayPal imposing a "return" policy for Bitcoins?

@DeathAndTaxes

oh its only for users receiving money. right..

>Im definately not going to rip anyone off.

Hahaha, oh I need to get this framed on my wall!

Get them off eBay. It's the sellers at risk.

There is a cash deposit method in New Zealand.  Is there a Westpac bank nearby to you?  That would be a good option for you .. .simply walk in, hand over the deposit ticket from BitNZ, pay cash.  Boom, done.

If you don't have a Westpac near to you, you can still start the order, and then send the deposit ticket to a friend, relative, coworker, or someone else who will deposit cash for you and does have one nearby.  You then send money to this party that helps you via PayPal.

For anyone else reading along thinking that would be nice but a New Zealand bank is far away, here is the comprehensive list of where cash deposists can be made.

 - http://www.BitInstant.com (Deposit at major banks, 7-11, Walmart, CVS, Moneygram, etc., or in Brazil using Boleto or Banco Recomendito, or in Russia, using Qiwi or Cyberplat.)
 - http://www.CAVirtEx.com (Deposit cash (CAD) at several banks)
 - http://www.Spendbitcoins.com (Deposit cash (AUD) at a bank in Australia)
 - http://www.MrBitcoins.com (Deposit cash at a bank in U.S. (USD), India (INR), Australia (AUD))
 - http://BitcoinNordic.com (Purchase CashU or UKash in dozens of countries)
 - http://www.BTC-E.com (Deposit cash (USD) at bank locations in Russia)
 - http://www.BitNZ.com (Deposit cash (NZD) at Westpac in New Zealand.)
 - http://www.MtGox.com (Deposit cash (GBP) at Barclays)
 - https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/bitcoins-direct-support-thread-87094 (Deposit cash (USD), $500 or more at B of A, Wells Fargo and PNC Bank in the U.S.)


The fees aren't trivial but you can use a credit card to purchase by using VirWoX where you can buy SLL using your Serve card as a credit card, then trade SLL for BTC:

This probably does't help you if you are looking to spend the coins anytime soon, but you can buy physical Bitcoin, paid for with credit card:

Or find a local trade.  There's someone selling in Aukland:
