You're not likely to find this deal, especially without a trust rating.
This is because both PayPal and credit card transactions can be reversed, which is risk for the seller. You'll likely see steep markups to offset that risk.

You can use LocalBitcoins for PayPal and you can refer to this (https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Buying_Bitcoins_(the_newbie_version))

I can't vouch for any service in particular as I've never used any.

You can also try the forums

Depends where you are. If you're in the US then circle.com should be the cheapest option with a card. Paypal will always be a bitch. Virwox.com is your best bet for that but it'll be very expensive.

There is a P2P lending/trading site that recently introduced bitcoin purchases with credit cards and possibly other methods.  They charge a small fee but it looked reasonable.  The company claims to be regulatory compliant and has a pretty good reputation.  Here is a referral link...

I bought some coins once using VirWox with paypal, pretty fast, but forget about lower cost using Paypal. The fees where high, definitely not worth it unless you need quick Bitcoins.

Paypal and credit card payments can be charged back or reversed. Bitcoin payments cannot. Hence anyone selling bitcoins and accepting paypal or credit card will get scammed and go bankrupt eventually. It's inevitable.

Get used to it. Paypal and credit card are such ridiculously oldfashioned crappy fraud-sensitive payment methods, they're doomed to go extinct sooner or later.

Virwox.com is an option but they add charges that will increase the amount you need to pay for BTC at least with them i guess you are safe with currency exchange scammers out there

That is true.
You can deposit using PayPal and VISA.
They used to accept Neteller too before.

You can also try circle.com for buying using a credit card, and I thing cex.io accepts credit cards too.

there isnot  enough trust on bitcoin yet, otherwise you can't get response like that

@OP
i don't know why there are still people that search for paypal--->bitcoin or the opposite when you can buy on exchange very easily and in few minutes without risking anything

using bitcoin with paypal would work only with small amount, do not expect anywone to trust a random user on the internet or even in real life for that matter, with a big amount, when we all know that one of the two is very reversible

How can an inconvenient payment system without chargeback and trust from merchants and common users be better? For me it is even more expencive to use since i am not used to fees on transactions.

The easiest way is through virwox, but there, you will have many limits (you can buy low amounts in the first weeks) as a new account and you will pay huge fees.

Try localbitcoins with paypal, but even there you have to verify yourself and you will pay from 15-20 percent higher than on the exchange.

As for the credit card, I would use cex.io but you will have to do verification, maybe even selfie or video chat in order to get verified.

As you can see, you have choosen 2 of the hardest methods to buy bitcoins, for that you will have to either pay much more or you will have to do thorough verification.

Cheers!

Buying Bitcoin by paypal or credit cards are hard as they can be easily charged back. However, there are still people offering to exchange them. You can try looking for them at the currency exchange board (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=53.0) but beware of potential scammers. I have personally used this  (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=583572.0). The process is quite long but it's more or less quite fast. Otherwise, try looking at localbitcoins.com.

You are better off going through a bank transfer-based service like localbitcoins.

Having said this, Bittylicious accepts credit card payments for Bitcoin, currently priced a around £206.

Worth checking to see if their service is available in your country.
