You would have to be mad to accept paypal for bitcoin. One can easily be reversed, the other can't. The risk is too high for most people to take. And even if you do run into someone crazy enough to sell you btc for paypal, you're probably going to need more than 1 post in the newbies section to prove your trustworthiness.

The problem is, Paypal prohibits the use of its service as a "currency exchange." If you use your PayPal account to trade Bitcoins, you're likely going to get your account frozen. See Paypal Acceptable Use Policy, Prohibited Activities Sec. 3(f) (https://cms.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/?cmd=_render-content&content_ID=ua/AcceptableUse_full). There is also a more in depth article at The Bitcoin Sun see The Paypal Problem (http://thebitcoinsun.com/post/2011/06/05/The-Paypal-Problem) for details.

I agree with most of the posts on here. Paypal is very complicated and I've learned it's better to stay away unless it's a one-time deal
with someone you trust. Only time I have used Paypal is by finding a reputable member on bitcoin-otc to sell me a small amount of BTC.
