does anyone know of a legit place to sell bitcoins in exchange for paypal cash?
I would not use PayPal, certainly not with a stranger. It is against their TOS. So if the person who buys your coins does a chargeback you may be screwed. Your account may be locked, your coins are gone, your money is gone. Your fate is really up to the buyer.
You may want to try localbitcoins, craigslist or other face-to-face transactions. I assume you don't want to use an exchange.
