Hello,

I guess you will get several PMs with quotes from individuals (readers).

There are also automated exchangers like http://xmlgold.eu that will exchange PayPal money for bitcoins.

I have tested the other way round (exchanging other e-currency for PayPal USD), it works, although transactions are processed manually during (European) business hours. And there are fees of course...

No endorsement from me, just a positive feedback on my test transaction.

Cheers,

Matt

EDIT: you must go through CashVouchers / CashMoney between PayPal USD and bitcoins on XMLGOLD. This raises the fees a bit more...

I own no bitcoins yet. I'd like to give it a try, but I haven't yet signed up at a Canadian exchange and there are no local traders for me in my town.

Would anyone like to sell me one coin via PayPal?

I've heard of PayPal accounts being frozen, but how does PayPal even know what the payment is for? Can't I just 'gift' someone money, without any kind of description, and then have someone deposit one bitcoin in my wallet address? I'm in a business with partners and we 'gift' each other money every month as a form of payment.

How can I build trust with someone so that they will accept payment via PayPal?
