Hello I was wondering how many people use PayPal to convert Bitcoins?
Please also state a use case if the answer is positive.

You can sell your Bitcoins for Paypal at ebay or buy Bitcoins via Paypal, also at ebay.

My case.

I wouldn't touch Paypal with a ten foot pole if I want to buy/sell BTC. To many scammers abusing their protection system, the support worth shit, and they also a have a grumpy attitude towards BTC.

Exchanging BTC for Paypal is like throwing your BTC away because when the other person charges back his Paypal funds you'll be left with nothing!

I don't use Paypal and I will never use it to convert any of my BTC period.
And I'd advice you to do the same.

If I can reply, I don't use paypal when I manage some to sell or buy some bitcoin (here in the forum I have bought/sold bitcoin for paypal only 2 times, and especially only with trusted users). I have heard about some problem with it, because if you write "bitcoin" or "cryptocurrency" in a paypal dispute they will bock both the accounts (of the buyer & seller) for ~ 180 days. So at the end it is not "wise" use paypal as method of payment.

It's unwise to use paypal to sell Bitcoin for mainly three reasons:

1. Risk of chargebacks.

2. Supporting a mud hole of crooks.

3. The correct mode of conversion is: fiat -> Bitcoin.

There are a lot of sellers or even buyer accepting paypal in exchange for btc but having said that, usually i would avoid using that payment method. If you can find someone within your locality for the exchanges, it's better to set up a meeting place to do instant transfer on the spot. That was what i did.

I exchange Bitcoins for Perfect Money/Payza on the forum and then exchange the PM/Payza funds to PayPal with my trusted exchangers. That's the only method I have found reliable and safe for me.

yes, i use paypal to buy bitcoins.
from 1 years and 4 months now ...  Grin

no restriction from my stupid and professional bank.
surprisly, paypal is much more easy to spend (in bitcoins) than a SEPA wire or CASH money.

No, I stay away from PayPal and advise others to boycott them. Their fees are pure theft and I don't agree with some of their policies. The sooner people stop using them, the better.

i prefer fees over bank blacklist ... in europe, it's the normal way to blacklist client.
see tracfin for example and the 1000 euro limit before report you to this "society" (yes, tracfin is not a part of any gov. in Europa).

Why would you use Paypal?  If you sold them through ebay using paypal the fees would be ridiculous.  I use ANX.  It's a good exchange and although they charge a fee for a withdrawal it a fixed amount regardless of the amount.  Mind you I still don't fully trust them (Or anyone) and only exchange max 10 BTC at a time.

When I withdraw the funds they are transferred via swift payment to my bank account.  Takes 3 days.

I was scammed twice on PayPal with Bitcoin and would never use them to sell.
I would even hate to sell bitcoin using paper or other method.

If the buyer complains you will lose your bitcoins.
