You can buy bitcoin with Paypal on Virwox, but the fee is pretty bad.

True, the fee is pretty bad.

But it is probably still the "best" way to buy bitcoin with paypal.
You can hardly find sellers to accept paypal, especially for a new account with no trade history.

Ebay. But most likely you will get scammed, or you will find the coins 1.5x or more expensive than the normal price.

It's usually the other way round. If you get scammed you just file a claim with PP and you'll get your money back.

Most places don't accept Paypal because chargebacks are too easy with digital goods. I hadn't heard of Virwox so that's good to know.

Using paypal to purchase digital goods is risky and be aware of scammers ;)

To buy bitcoin on Virwox, you need to first buy SLL, and then use the SLL to buy bitcoin, and the fee is bad......

paypal is banning people for using bitcoin. I use localbitcoin to purchase bitcoins. I pay with my bank, so no worries for me.
