I can see why people are nervous about selling bitcoins (or anything, for that matter) via paypal.  However, I have to agree with what some have mentioned - in all my experience on ebay & other online sales, very rarely has anyone tried to commit fraud, and I have never lost any money or merchandise in almost 10 years.  Just because it's possible for someone to get away with fraud, doesn't mean that everyone is going to do it.

That said, if the OP still wants to buy 1 BTC via PayPal, I'm game.  PM me and we can exchange details.

You could get your bitcoins through Virwox, making your payment with paypal (or even bank transfer)
https://www.virwox.com/

True, but they have a limit using paypal and you'll be overpaying. Setting up a Dwolla account and transferring funds to an exchange is another option but it lags.

Thanks for the link! I was scammed out of 5BTC earlier this week and that link answered some questions I had.

You aren't going to get any sales with PayPal as your payment method. Tongue
