i think no, its too risky for buying bitcoin with paypal
because paypal have dispute system, and it makes you gullible

This has been discussed numerous times.
You are taking a risk using paypal to do transactions to buy or sell your bitcoins, usually buying is the most prevalent as it can be charged back within 180 days of the date the transaction had happened.
Use another method of payment or just use Virox as someone has already mentioned as they are reputable company that will not commence a charge back to their client base.

It is never recommended to buy BTCitcoin using paypal.  There is far too much risk involved.

First, as far as I remember, it is against their terms to deal in cryptocurrencies.  If they determine that you're doing so, they can freeze the account, and you can lose your money.  Also, there is always the possibility that the person you're buying from will reverse the transaction.  There are several people on this forum that will tell you that there are easy methods and ways to avoid this:  They are lying to you

Your best bet is to find a reputable, tested site like Bitstamp or something else in your area. 

There is always LocalBitcoins as well.  They can help you put together a deal with someone almost no matter where you are.


Uh, you can charge a bitcoin transaction? I think that the OP's trying to buy bitcoins with paypal.

Its not directly possible but its possible indirectly by various methods that are also named here in your topic.
The point is that what many people are already saying traders are good if you can trust them because the fee's are much lower than the other methods from websites or whatever.

You can't directly buy Bitcoins using PayPal, because it is risky for the seller, and therefore few sellers will offer this. There are basically 3 reasons for that:

The buyer of bitcoins can always perform a chargeback and there is no way for the seller to contest that
There are many hacked accounts and when PayPal realizes that such an account has been fraudulently used, they will also perform a chargeback
PayPal doesn't like bitcoin, as the bitcoin network is in direct competition to it. They will ban accounts that have anything to do with Bitcoins, and freeze their balance.

Be careful, and try to use escrow for this. You can pay for them in a variety of ways, ranging from hard cash to credit and ... Surprisingly, it's still not easy to buy bitcoins with your credit card or PayPal.

you can buy bitcoin with your paypal on Localbitcoins or Paxfull, they are trusted website

But localbitcoins and paxfull have crazy high fees and on localbitcoins a lot of seller ask you to verify yourself by selfie your id hard and more but on wesellcrypto it's enough to send your id card and you will be verified you can than buy bitcoins each time and it will be automatic

Those sellers ask for those things because they want to be safe because they're the ones accepting paypal and therefore they're the ones at risk, not the bitcoin buyer.

Wheter you do it with a trusted user or not. Remember paypal doesn't allow their users to use the platform for crypto related events.
They consider this as illegal. Which means you always have the risk they block your account.

so long as they don't know that the transaction is about cryptocurrency you should be safe though. but still a dispute would be a hell of trouble. where in their policy did they mention such? i never really heard about it until today.

I don't think, paypal will limit your account for trading bitcoins because couple of times I sent paypal money request to buyer through there plotform and deal went smooth. So for, so good for me. But you should find only a trusted members to do these kind of high risk transactions.

Not if you use Virwox as it's recognized by PayPal. I have no clue why PayPal allows this exchange website and not others like LBC or bitcoin exchange websites but since they allow Virwox, it means that they don't hate bitcoin traders atleast. Else there are other safe ways of trading in PayPal.

Its possible for sure but what many people are already saying is that its just the fact that its a risk you are making because the guy can scam you easily.
I think its not worth it in my opinion due to the risks.

You can do it with paypal, they only thing you need is a good trusted trader that is worth the risk to do this.
Never let paypal know it because they do not like it and will maybe limited your account, also look at the fees because some traders use huge fees for it.

They need your selfie because paypal have revesible dispute fiture, i believe if your buying record is good no have problem, on 3rd or more seller will no ask for your id and selfie again

It is possible I think. But you must watch out for scams. That is very important and you need to be careful.
If you are not careful than you can lose money and that will be not good for you. I hope that you can do it safely.
