Post by: Yankee (BitInstant) on June 26, 2012, 10:39:55 PM
Hello Community,
 
As of today, you can fund your PayPal account with Bitcoins.

This service has been long-needed in Bitcoin World and now anyone holding Bitcoins can immediately get them converted to USD and placed in their PayPal account.

Orders are processed by our partner Virtual World Services GmbH and the Paypal funds will arrive from them. There is a 6% total fee for the service, which includes the PayPal fee.
 
Note: Our system will automatically flag a first-time withdrawal for a quick manual review. We check to see if the PayPal address is blacklisted, fraud, or mistyped.

Fast and easy Bitcoin payments to PayPal! Give it a try!

congrats!  this is a huge development!  as much as I hate Paypal, there's things I pick up on fleaBay and it's such a drag to have to withdrawal from my bank account just to do that. 

YOU ROCK BitInstant!!!

This is not BTC -> Paypal, it's BTC -> MtGox -> Paypal.
