Have you thought about using dwolla? Maybe this service works better? I haven't used it in a really long time. I used to use it for Mt Gox but as we all know that story ended in disaster.
I tried to sell my Bitcoins with Paypal because Paypal provides direct money transfer service to my local account . but when I exchanged my BTC to PP . Buyer scammed me I lost my BTC worth about $200 . then I started exchanging on BTC-E.com and it is working to me safely .Beware from scammer suggestion to all 
I'm selling bitcoins in my country, and some guys wanted to buy with Paypal, but i refused, even they offered me 5% more, but it's not safe. The reason is simple, Paypal transactions can be reversed.
That is how everyone looks at it, no one ever looks at the other side of "WILL THEY" everyone here just assumes they will reverse with no real hard facts.
I've done it myself and I'm waiting to see if I get a charge back. I won't be surprised if I get funds reversed on my account and I only exchange relatively small amounts of funds so if I get played I won't be devastated. I have faith I won't be scammed but you just can't be sure these days and I think it is best to avoid these kinds of issues by finding other forms of exchanging your Bitcoin for dollars as many others have suggested in this thread and all over the forum..
users here are sometimes stupid to accept paypal as payment, remember, paypal is not ok, since it's reversible.
Hello everyone, what is the absolute best and safest way to buy. BTC with Paypal? Also which site doesn't ask for documents and gives crazy headaches?
Look Mate, with paypal there are just too many scams, I just would not do it and find another way around it.
Just go to an exchange or localbitcoins.
You can buy BTC with Paypal on Virwox, but the fees are high and your starting limits will be pretty low. I don't really recommend it. You could find reputable sellers on LocalBitcoins, but you'd probably pay a hefty premium, even if you have some level of reputation.
I don't think many/any traders on LBC will accept paypal for payment as the long term risk to them is simply too high.Virwox does work for using paypal to buy bitcoin but the high fees make it so it really doens't make sense. Your best bet would really be to simply withdraw your BTC to your bank account and deal with someone locally.
I don't know where you're looking on LBC, but there's definitely traders who take Paypal. But like I said, the premium is hefty and not worth it. I agree, best to either withdraw to bank account to use cash locally, or to send cash to an exchange.
Do you have any links to a few traders that accept paypal that you can see?
One way I see users getting bitcoin using paypal is buying cex.io vouchers on ebay then selling the vouchers for btc and then of course withdrawing the bitcoins.

Well as unsafe it is I see a lot of people selling for paypal right here on the forum, I don't know why but they usually trade with reputed members or use escrow. After how many days does a paypal payment can't be reversed?
Only reputable members deal with paypal (or at least reputable member paying out in paypal. You don't actually need high reputation to accept paypal), but I've seen newbs dealing with newbs in paypal, and it usually ends with one of them getting scammed.
Purchasing bitcoin with paypal is always safe for the purchaser...not so much for the person selling to him. Risk of chargebacks far too high for most people to want to sell BTC for paypal without some sort of significant risk-fee thrown in. Good luck to you though.

I haven't used it myself, but from what I heard and read here, Virwox is a reliable site for you to buy bitcoin with paypal.

Also escrow won't do much for a paypal transaction. It can still be reversed with or without escrow. Paypal's term is 45 days for their official system, but if they're about to lose money, they will extend it much longer. If payed with credit card through paypal, it can be even longer than 6 months, depending on how the scammer works it out with the fraud department.
But let's say someone is dealing with paypal to buy/sell bitcoins, after how many days of receiving payment through paypal one can be sure that it cannot be reversed?
And OP, try this : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=670349.0;topicseen
Since you're buying, I don't see any problems for you in trying any service, if you don't get your coins you can always ask for chargeback.

In the past, I bought with paypal on ebay twice, but in small amount.
Wait for seller list it.
