Just look at the prices on eBay.
They're about double the exchange prices, but in a few weeks that is probably not going to be a bad price for the investment.
It's a sign that people are trying too hard to turn a quick profit, but like PayPal, eBay protects one side at the expense of the other. It's a trap which can cause the current bubble to pop. Simple human anxiety and greed can crash the delicate new economy of the Bitcoin, though I will say with 11+ million BTC in circulation it will probably remain fairly stable, so long as we look at the actual economy of it instead of how we ourselves can profit.
Protip: the coins on eBay are likely to be scams, so be careful of whom you're buying from. Always triple-check everything before you buy there, and keep in mind that eBay is NOT a good deal. Stick to the exchanges.

so, I cant buy some btc with my paypal?
Technically, you can. It's just not that many people are willing to sell.This is an issue for me since I have nowhere near me to do cash deposits.

What would be an easy alternative to Paypal and Bitcoin?

Anyone know if there is a time limit PayPal user can attempt to reverse a transaction?
The buyer / sender on PayPal can file a complaint within 45 days and get their money back! That easy!
Sucks for sellers / receivers.
Oh the horror stories

PayPal protects the buyer, not the seller.
I refuse to receive funds via PayPal.
This is why I'm looking at BitCoin.
With BitCoin the scammers that claim they never got paid can't reverse the transaction.

stay away from paypal. Use bitinstant instead.
Well, that's not quite easy to do I'm afraid.
I'm a freelancer (doing 3d and what not) and not sure how I would get $ if not for paypal.
How do people do things with money online if not using paypal or bitcoins? Using bank accounts or credit cards?
I don't quite know a good way atm to buy or sell bitcoins for dollars

Isn't the risk of buying bitcoins with paypal the same risk as buying anything else with paypal? What is considered to be the safest way to do this other than going to someone in person and making sure you get the cash in hand?
There is no way of truly confirming delivery of bitcoins.
how about casacius coins, that can be confirmed....

I've been ripped off through paypal even AFTER receiving positive feedback on ebay on a transaction. I had no leg to stand on due to the item not being sent signed for.
I hate it; I want it to die.
Crypto will be the only way to trade online in a decade.
