At the moment I'm not spending any bitcoins, I'm just holding on to them for now.

So yes I do use paypal more frequently than bitcoin when I'm paying for online stuff.

why you not convert your paypal to bitcoin ? u can get interest with price bitcoin
you can separate the spending amount and holding amount with different address/wallet

Im use paperwallet to hold and use xapo/coinbase to spend it

if you are going to buy something from a large company then paypal and bitcoin both serve the same purpose. paypal won't be chargebacked, because paypal has agreements witht he said company. bitcoin cant be chargebacked either. but if you're sending money to a private person ( say someone you met on the forum), then paypal can be chargebacked while bitcoin cant. so i prefer bitcoin.

Paypal is good to deal with the unknown merchants but bad due to its fee. On the other hand bitcoin has lower fee but due to irreversible transactions it is not good to shop on online shopping site (usually new one). So i prefer bitcoin to buy cheaper goods and also while paying to nearest shop.

when it comes to security I will go for paypal cause when you buy online and didn't get your money you can file a dispute to get your money back however when you pay bitcoin it is not reversible and when you get scammed theres no hope that they will return your money , but if you want fast transaction go for bitcoin , In every aspect there is pro and cons so learn to balance where to use paypal or bitcoin

I will choose the bitcoin than paypal, because bitcoin is very easy in getting and I do not know how to get dollar for paypal

For now I'd choose Paypal just because I'm kinda new to bitcoin and just waiting it out.

I'm just holding my bitcoins for now.

Whenever possible I tend to use bitcoin to pay online, if the retailer is trustworthy. I don't have too much against Paypal, but most of my use of them has been for receiving rather than spending.

Well the thing is..
As a customer u normally want to use paypal for standard goods, just to be safe and be able to dispute and get ur money back
in case the goods are not as u wish or didn't get delivered.
But for any other kind of payments which do not have to be disputable i'd always use bitcoin

If a site accepts both of paypal and bitcoin I would rather paying with bitcoin of course because PayPal account required a lot of veriverification stuff and it is not easy in my country to get a visa to verify paypal

Very true. That is what I like about bitcoin you don't need alot of verifycations.

I do believe in PayPal when it comes to any type of online purchase and even transactions. The reason is that paypal has been in existence for quite sometime and they have security credential that are well established. However Bitcoins will come into action when I am doing a business deal that we let me get enough returns in terms of the bitcoins. There are these sweet deals that you never think twice and in such like occurrence, I never hesitate. It however varies depending on the individual and the things that drive you.

I am new in Bitcoin, so I prefer Paypal for now. Besides, currently Paypal is adopted by more clients than Bitcoin. When the time comes when Bitcoin is well adopted by merchandisers, I think I'll choose Bitcoin.

PayPal is accepted by many online shopping websites and hence the obvious answer in PayPal. Bitcoins are rarely accepted but if there is an option to pay via bitcoins and the website is trusted to hold the BTC till the item is not shipped, I would use BTC. I haven't yet had this option and hence am a bit unaware of how does it actually work.

In my opinion it just depends which one is easier and less expensive. Of course, that Bitcoin is my first option if it's accepted on the certain websites to pay for goods and services. Unfortunately sites like these are not that numerous. So in the end I still end up paying more with the PayPal!

Of course, day by day this keep changing and one day I believe that we will also be paying more with bitcoins than with PayPal!

Online shopping usually requires the user to wait for a few confirmations which is quite annoying for sure. Paypal offers buyers protection which would protect you from the event that the goods ordered wasn't delivered. It does charge a higher fee however. If the merchant is trusted and accept both, I would go with Bitcoin, if not, it's PayPal for me.

like what all said if i want to create paypal wallet i have to give all my details and then also their is so many restriction to use it freely, and now a days their are so many fraud and scam are happening through paypal it is not safe to use it, but in bitcoin we dont have to disclose our identity and we can do what ever transaction and purchase just with the wallet address .

When I online shop with Bitcoin, I only use purse.io as they give you a 20% discount from retail price and they are a website that only accepts Bitcoin. When I go on other sites I use Paypal as more sites accept Paypal compared to Bitcoin. Also, with Paypal, you don't need an escrow so you don't have to worry about the escrow fees.

paypal accepted in many merchant but it really hard to use, sometimes when im going to check out my bill my paypal become limited and that was fuckin waste of time, and need to upload gov id,different with bitcoin, its really simple to checkout just send the amount of bitcoin to merchant address and just wait few minutes then transaction success,so i would prefer using bitcoin

I prefer bitcoin as well but it's not nearly as much accepted in online shops as PayPal. If there's not an option for me to pay with bitcoin I'll use PayPal.

Both are fast and easy, but to get btc, most of them will take a huge %, but anyway I'm using for anonymous purchases and paypal for all others where anonymous is no needed Cheesy
