I allow people to buy with paypal as long as they use the Gift option to send payment. Also I limit each transaction size to what I feel I am comfortable with.

Buyers need to have...


Verified paypal account
and/or
Ebay account w/ feedback
Bitcointalk account w/ feedback
Heatware
Bitcoin OTC
or some other method of determination for trust that I deem acceptable.

Also I do charge a small premium for not established users, but it is still less than using a 3rd party exchange.

Please send me a pm to discuss as i have a 50+ ebay rating/half.com seller rating and am new to bitcoins...

I believe Paypal does not want to deal with Bitcoins due to their Policy.

It's not that easy. You can do it buying from that Virwox site but I guess it gets pretty expensive

You can not buy bitcoins with paypal because the paypal transaction is reversible and the bitcoin transaction is not. This means that, unless you have a good reputation in the community (which you don't because you just arrived), nobody will risk selling you bitcoins.

You have to use a bitcoin exchange so head over to MtGox, TradeHill or Exchangebitcoins.com and check their deposit methods.

You can check the price at different exchanges here: http://bitcoincharts.com/

Hello,
I was wondering the best way to exchange Paypal for BitCoins. What is the current exchange rate and where is the most reliable vendor?

Thanks
