VirWoX

But there's a good chance they will shut your account down if you only buy or transfer btc.

Have a look at the 'currency exchange' tab under marketplace.There are many offers there.But always use a very trusted user for escrow when you want to make a deal with someone.never compromise for escrow,always have it.

only one way to buy BTC with CC or paypal its exchanger because bitcoin is basically a virtual currency that can only be obtained from mining and can not legally be purchased by cash so the only way is to use the exchanger

You probably won't have much luck, there's too much risk of to the seller due to chargebacks since bitcoin is irreversible. Your best bet is probably to gain more trust on the forum, then check the Currency Exchange subforum and see if anyone's willing to sell you some. If you have a bank account, some exchanges (such as Coinbase) allow you to transact without verification, albeit at lower limits. I've never verified my identity with Coinbase, as I don't need the higher limits so it isn't worth the drop is security, and I've enver had any issues with them.

Buying bitcoin with cash isn't illegal, I'm not sure where you heard that. However, buying illegal things with bitcoin (e.g. silk road) is still illegal.

Virwox is there, but I really don't recommend it. The fees are extremely high, and unless you're just buying a small amount, you won't be happy to find that you might be limited to < $100 purchase at first. CC --> Bitcoin really doesn't work at this point...

People don't sell BTC with paypal here specially with newbie tag because of reversible nature of paypal.

You can use Virwox but the fee is pretty high.
Due to the potential chargeback in credit card and paypal, you can hardly find others accepting them...

most people will not do it because you can't chargeback bitcoins but you can chargeback visa/paypal

therefore it's easy to get scammed if you would sell bitcoin for visa/paypal

It means to reverse the transaction.

bit the problem is you must use pay as service to active chargebacks and it will cost much money to pay fee

Not really.
From what I heard, you can simply claim your paypal account was hacked, and get the transaction reversed even if you sent it as gift.

Why don't you just make account at some exchange like Bitstamp, and than you wire your money there and buy BTC ?
Most of the people (like i don't) don't trust PayPal transactions since they can be reversed and you get your money back, but the seller of BTC doesen't get BTC back.

I believe the exchange btc-e you can buy it with credit cards. I don't believe their information requirements are very severe. I believe their fee is around 5% Also depending on what country your in another choice maybe zapcoin they are all over uk and russia.

With BTC-e, min sum allowed: 2000$ or € with international wire transfer.
For another methods you must have verified OKpay, PerfectMoney etc...

i think being able to pay with visa or paypal etc is important, sending moeny via international payments can be time consuming.

I had to pay money into my bank
then do an international transfer which costs a certain amount each time
then you have to transfer from gateways if you wish you to convert to other coins, etc all this takes a lot of time.

:(

Sure, but one of the big issues is the prospect of chargebacks with such methods, in combination with higher processing costs. There are good reasons why these methods are not prominent with BTC exchanges and the like.

You can, you just have to pay a serious premium for it at localbitcoins.com and find the paypal ad.

Paypal can open disputes because they will probably on-hold it some days.

You can use coinbase. It's very secure.

There are also some fair/trustworthy ebay sellers, but you will be paying at a stiff hike.
