I am from a country where I can't buy bitcoin through bank or debit card. I only buy bitcoins through paypal or though any exchanger who accept bitcoin.. some times I use bitcointalk traders section to buy sell bitcoins. this is not a bad process but If I can buy bitcoin through debit card it would be more better for me. I wish one day I can do it..
where do you life?which country?i have same problem with you,but i dont choose to purchase bitcoin through paypal,i will more trust and comfort to buy from people who sell bitcoin,its have fair price.
There are a lot of options to buy bitcoins online with as a example doing it at localbitcoins indeed.
Localbitcoins is one of the best methods in my opinion its safe and also more trusted than other methods..
