Hello everyone,

I would like to purchase 1 bitcoin off a reputable member of the community through Paypal at the current Mtgox rate.

The thing to worry about is not the reputation of the seller, but of the buyer  You would need a much bigger track history of honesty and reliability before anyone reputable would trust you to pay for bitcoin with paypal.

It's hard to get that track record when I can't be given a chance.

Quite the conundrum, eh?

Very much so.

Buy something tangible with paypal or credit card. Sell it for Bitcoins. Ship first to trusted individuals if necessary. Build a reputation.

Or just use https://localbitcoins.com/ and pay with cash.

Problem with localbitcoins is the closest place is still a distance from me.

You can get a chance, but you'll have to do it like everybody else.  Go use coinbase, bitinstant, mtgox, etc. to purchase bitcoins, and do some individual trading with them.  Then you'll have some sort of reputation and track record.

I just concluded my first coinbase transaction today, and at this point I think it beats all the alternatives.  Sure it'd be great if I could whip out a credit card and buy bitcoins with it, but nobody can do that today, essentially.  So if you really want a bitcoin, you'll have to work for it, friend.  If you are not willing to put in enough work to learn how to use the system, you probably aren't worth taking an extra risk on (paypal).

That is against the PayPal rules. 

You might go to http://blockchain.info and import or set up an account.
Open your wallet.
Cash deposit
(now you are on the BitInstant page)
Fill out the form, print it out.
Take the resulting MoneyGram 1 page invoice to one of the locations they show.  This will be a place where people pay their utility bills, such as a large grocery store's customer service desk.
