Besides paypal chargeback ,they limit you to manage funds and withdraw them to your bank or the max you can send and receive ,they ask you id and others informations,bitcoin is unlimited and anonymous a huge advantage for the most.

With bitcoin you still can't shop in many places...
That is probably because you are not making your voice be heard... Some merchants will only think about bitcoin when they see they are losing sales and money.

Or when other merchants see they are losing sales/money/customers to competitors that are accepting Bitcoin.

If we all do our part, I'm sure Bitcoin will get accepted any where online.

Perfect. Bitcoins is spreading everywhere. I could find all my required online purchases with bitcoin.
All the above now a days we can spend bitcoin in physical stores also through bitcoin debit card. This is the future face of money. Bitcoin fits everywhere.

Absolutely i will choose bitcoin for shopping.

No need to verification for register, fees is very small, and transaction is very fast.

Paypal can do this.

You mean paypal can't do that right?
the only things that make bitcoin better than paypal are we dont need to upload our identity and of course low cost even with the high amount of transaction

I agree with you but there is one more important point.
Almost 99 % of web-shoppes, stores, accept Paypal and it's very easy to connect your bank account or debit/credit card with paypal.
With bitcoin you still can't shop in many places and can't use your easily your funds from personal bank account.

this is just one of many proof,that bitcoin better than paypal.
This is usually the first advantage of cryptocurrencies that you hear from Bitcoin enthusiasts and experts. And this is certainly true as PayPal has been notorious for imposing hefty transaction fees on users of about 3%.
For example, one reddit user Carbone_ posted a screenshot of the fees incurred when selling 60 items on Ebay for €1 a piece. Of the €60.50 amount worth of payments received PayPal’s cut was €17.59.

A 1000 times Bitcoin than PayPal. PayPal controls you a lot and it is great for scumbags who like to buy things and then ask for chargebacks... With Bitcoin you don't have that kind of problem!

I've been fucked by PayPal a number of times selling stuff on ebay with supposedly 'disgruntled' buyers getting their money back. PayPal don't protect the seller so fuck them.

I prefer bitcoin.

I've heard this story from a numerous individuals. This is the exact reason why I wouldn't use paypal as a seller. But as a buyer I've been using it for years now and haven't had a problem with it so far.

Yes, those pathetic stories may find end with the help of bitcoin adoption. We can strongly believe there are as many as opportunities for bitcoin similar to paypal and bitcoin will replace paypal in all possible ways. Bitcoin is better than paypal in all aspects and best suited for both buyers and sellers.

Grow SMALL amount of BTC by earning it

Paypal is accepted by more sites but bitcoin is safer and easier because no chargebacks or freezing of accounts like paypal.
Bitcoin is safer for the merchant, chargeback is not possible or at least easily achieved and the fees are next to none. For users, if we ignore the freezing of accounts, goods are usually mostly covered under their buyer protection program. The site has to be reputable before I would consider using Bitcoin with them.

Bitcoin is good because there are close to 0 frauds.

But the merchants don't see it because paypal will take care of the frauds for a fee, paid by the user in the end, so the merchant won't have to bother about it. There are charge backs frauds, but I think they are negligible for the big stores
Bitcoin does have quite some fraud that happened. Bitcoin is irreversible which means that once its sent, there's no way to get it back. Unless escrow is used, it is not very safe to use Bitcoin without a third party when shopping online. When using escrow, there is usually a delay in releasing the payment.

With paypal, the transaction is close to instant when dealing with goods that are covered under their TOS. Even if the user chargeback, there's proof. I'm not saying the paypal is great but it's a point Bitcoin needs to improve on. Of course, with virtual or game currency, Bitcoin as a payment method would be the best for merchants.

What are your opinions on paypal or bitcoin for online shopping?

If I am buying  I use paypal with 6 months to pay and 0 interest.

I have that deal from paypal so when buying paypal is a good choice.

How is that possible i use paypal too, and there is no option to pay for 6 months, it always spent the whole amount if i have in my card linked to it, or maybe this is only for some countries right?
