As others have mentioned bitcoin-otc.com (the IRC channel) is probably your best bet. You are going to have difficulty even there finding someone who will sell you bitcoins for paypal. If you do find someone they will probably only sell a small quantity and price gouge you until you have enough transactions to be trusted.
I'm just not sure why some people are so set on PayPal.
An alternative that's more generally accepted is Dwolla (or depending on where you have your checking account there are other alternatives).
Dwolla is NOT a solution to the PayPal issue, it is simply another part of the problem. Dwolla is responsible for the closing of TradeHill, (the second largest exchange after Mt. Gox) which has now sued Dwolla for revoking hundreds of thousands of dollars from TradeHill's account. Before TradeHill closed, they refunded all bitcoins to their users, so no TradeHill customers lost anything, but TradeHill lost EVERYTHING because of Dwolla's rescinding their "no chargeback" policy. Dwolla then modified their website after the fact to allow chargebacks (which they had earlier proudly proclaimed they would never use).An alternative that's more generally accepted is Dwolla (or depending on where you have your checking account there are other alternatives).
I closed my Dwolla account and will never use them again. I suggest you do the same. Dwolla owes their success to Bitcoin, but now they've turned on us and made it far riskier to run an exchange. You may notice that several exchanges are no longer using Dwolla because of what happened to TradeHill.
Hey guys, im just wondering whats my best way to buy bitcoins with paypal. Do I have to convert paypal to another currency or what ?
Buy a little mini bit (about $0.50 worth, $1, worth or $2 worth):

or buy a little bigger bit (either $5 worth or $10 worth) if you have a PayPal debit card (or any credit card even):

there is no problem when buying with paypal, its all with selling. thats the total risk as paypal assumes the responsibility on the seller not the buyer.
There is a better way the #bitcoin-otc on freenode. You need to validate yourself with a PGP private key, but once you get used to that and build reputation, there's tons of transactions you can do.

I've done it through virwox.com before.
It's a complicated process of paypal--->Linden Dollars--->BTC.
The fees are kind of ridiculous too.
Hopefully someone will post a better way..............

You would have to send whatever currency the seller wanted... As an fyi, not too many people are keen on doing paypal for btc since there is a massive risk of charge back. That being said, there are always people that are willing to take the risk
Explain how you will get scammed? The seller of bitcoin is assuming all the risk here, what is your risk?
