the only way to buy something with paypal is through localbitcoins, but it's a bad idea. paypal doesn't seem quite friendly to BTC.

try coinbase. i have heard of bad stories about them, but in my personal experience, it was pretty decent.

I think the safest way to buy BTC will be on coinbase.com

I use it as my wallet and my exchange.

However, until you are verified, it might take a while for you to exchange on the website.

Do not trade with him.

He is obviously a scam.

Hi SniperDude,
you are able to link a bank acct to Coinbase. I segregated some money into one account for Coinbase to send a couple of microtransactions to verify the account. They are able to offer a price similar to Bitstamp if you are watching the trading exchanges. They technically dont trade, just buy and sell for you, basically on Bitstamp. Settlement takes a few days but is less than a week. They dont ask your SS number to verify for an Instant account, but are able to KYC (know your customer) in this case, their customer, by using a service called IDentify. They use the last 4 digits of your social and your address and work backwards asking you 4 questions based what they know from that input. The system may be slow for a trader at first but in works for me because I want to hang on. Hope that helps, Steel

Search for bitcoins locally, a local meetup is a great place to get started, I found sellers in my local classified ads.

Send me a message if you need me to respond to a post, or just send me some  $ADA in an amount that will get my attention = addr1qx7g7vzjtk9mcljxjy0vnewaljk33m67d227d95rsak8mmjdq5erwjygc05l6vftwdzy9qd3t4 9spl5kw5k6684gfawqw9r87w

Do you think it's the right time to buy bitcoin, or just wait it becomes a little bit lower?

If you want to use Credit Card / Paypal to buy Bitcoins, then the only site in which you'll be able to do so is VirWox.

I bought my first BTC through coinbase.  It was pretty simple and the rate was reasonable.

The verification period is a bit annoying in the beginning, but the low limits also helped keep me out of trouble Wink  (Volatility)

I also second coinbase.com

If you want to trade the coins buy them on coinbase, send them to btce, acquire more coins, etc. Remember, your goal it to acquire more coins, don't think only in terms of usd

If you meet up with someone to buy them, just make sure it's in a crowded area (like a bar or something).

Localbitcoins works mostly for smaller amounts and can be a hazzle. Exchange wise, I found bitstamp to be quite reliable.
