have a few euros left on my paypal account and i want to convert them to BTC.


With VirWoX you can buy SLL using PayPal or Credit Card, then trade SLL for BTC:

This does't help you right away, but in the future you can buy physical Bitcoin, paid for with credit card:

Here's one method those in the U.S. might be able to use to buy bitcoins using credit card.

There is a new money transfer service called Remitly.   They let you send funds, with the transaction funded by a credit card, to the Philippines -- via the GCash network.  This is primarily intended to be for remittance payments to the Philippines.

There is an exchange in the Philippines that performs exchange to and from bitcoins, and accepts GCash payments for the purchase of bitcoins.

So, ... to use Remitly, the send money form will ask for your name, address, date of birth, and last four digits of SSN.  

The Philippine exchange:

This method hasn't yet been attempted so if anyone does try it, feel free to share the results.

No it will not. The thread ends with a huge clusterfuck of Paypal closing accounts and reversing payments.
