i do have paypal but still unverified and never try to verified that because for online shopping i think more easy and simple to use bitcoin as the payment currently
From a seller perspective I like bitcoin. Paypal offers no seller protection when you're selling digital goods, such as memberships, and as seller you pretty much always lose when the buyer decides to put in a (even if wrongful) chargeback.
No such thing with bitcoin

I prefer to choice Bitcoin because It simple to transfer money to someone who need it, Also the wallet is very easy to make it not like paypal we need to have credit card to can make a Paypal account.
I think paypal more corporate support
but it's not easy to use, inversely with bitcoin. bitcoin offers many features .
> Simple
> Cheap
> Newbie Friendly
> Flexible and easy to carry
all above should be the reason people choose bitcoin than paypal. it's the matter of time to get bitcoin more popular.

A year ago I would say paypal, but being more familiar with bitcoin, i would go for bitcon anytime anywhere.
It is just so more convienient then payal.

My preferable payment method is paypal, this is due to the fact there are not many online stores that accept my bitcons.
I hope this will change fast, so we consumers can benefit from the true purpose of bitcoin.. sending/ receiving payments.
It won't change when people will think the same way you do. If you prefer Paypal over bitcoin just because bitcoin is not widely accepted then it probably won't be, ever.I hope this will change fast, so we consumers can benefit from the true purpose of bitcoin.. sending/ receiving payments.
If merchants notice that people are asking about possibility of bitcoin payments or there is high demand for such service - they will most likely introduce it.
I do agree with you that we should be paying with Bitcoin whenever we have a chance! It's a bit hard for every one of us to take an initiative and start asking merchants to introduce us as a former of payment, but the least we can do is to use bitcoins when we have a chance to pay with them.
Bitcoin.
It is better to use than the paypal.

That's wrong. With Bitcoin you use multisig escrow which is safer than Paypal!
You cant use multisig escrow when you are depositing your bitcoins into exchanges or when you use them to buy stuff from sites that accept bitcoin.Well, it's your choice to use an exchange that provides multisig escrow or payment channels. With fiat you are forced to use a third party services that supports scammers like Paypal or a bank. With Bitcoin you have the choice to make your deals in a way that prevents your from being scammed.
What are your opinions on paypal or bitcoin for online shopping?
I would prefer bitcoin for shopping, paypal used to be good but now bitcoin it is.paypal is good for people who are buying stuff. it's bad for people who are selling stuff. so many people ended up with nothing after a charge back. it's sad.
I'd say bitcoin, because you're not able to scam anyone. BTC is the best thing which happened to the internet.
If you pay bitcoin to a scammer, you will not be able to get your bitcoin back. With paypal, you can get your money back.When their account check is negative your acount will be frozen. If they don't find illegal activities your acount might be released within a few weeks or months.
So many sites using bitcoin are a scam and there is nothing you can do about it.

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 read somewhere that you can connect your bitcoin to paypal, not sure if this is true but I like to try it out.
If that's the case then I wouldn't have to choose between the two.

Only if you are using paypal for illicit activities. Paypal is way more safe than bitcoin just because they will actually refund you when you buy something and the deal goes wrong. So many sites using bitcoin are a scam and there is nothing you can do about it.
Paypal for legit and online transactions. Bitcoins for off the grid stuff
I think paypal more corporate support
