This doesn't work because:

When a user disputes a Paypal payment, and they didn't even know they were first buying LD, then how will you prove to paypal that they got what they were paying for?

So chargebacks will happen probably with 100% success for those filing disputes.

the glory of the internet Tongue

I am reconsidering now...

oh doing some research I also found a competing way that is more secure and trusted, I tried it out now and it worked nearly instantly

go to virwox

buy LD at ~260 LD/USD

buy BTC at ~ ~950 LD/BTC

works quite well and that's what I will recomend to people in the future
And how much did that cost in fees?

Edit: Also, do you have to install SL / have a SL account to do it?

You don't need a SL account... just make up a fake avatar name and it works fine.  Fees are reasonable, but you won't be able to do this at scale.  Virwox has fairly small daily transaction limits.

If I found a sneaky way to offer paypal > btc, what price would you accept Smiley think people buying there first bitcoins

the current price is 2.93 and my method would work to about 3.30

what would the demand at that rate be ?
If you're able to do this with a simple and clean user experience, I think you'll have a large market at that price.

But if by "sneaky way" you mean that the user will use PayPal to buy A, use A to buy B, and use B to buy bitcoins, it will be closer to 0.
