If you're based in the US, you have 3 options.
Coinbase:
https://www.coinbase.com/
Link your Bank and Credit Card for instant purchases. You'll have to get to Level 2 before you can instant buy at certain amounts. Takes a few days to get verified for bank.
Circle:
https://www.circle.com/en
Similar to Coinbase, use either Bank or Credit Card, no fees, doesn't have the level system Coinbase has.
LocalBitcoins:
https://localbitcoins.com/
Don't have to get verified, but buying Bitcoins here is usually at a premium or markup price. Have to find trusted sellers with lots of history. Can be done by variety of methods: Bank deposit, Paypal, Western Union, Dwolla, Moneypak, Venmo, Amazon Gift Card, or the recommended way in person in cash.

I don't think a lot of people use the blockchain to buy. at least I never did
I would recommend you to use the Currency exchange section & search the rates you want to trade with other members with the payment that you want (Paypal,Netteler etc..) or there is localbitcoins.com , pretty famous & trusted
