I took a look at some traders like BitStamp, but they require you to deal with bank accounts, the first time I read about the Bitcoin I was told that one of the advantages that it has over fiat currencies is that you don't need to deal with banks... So that statement isn't totally true due to the fact that if you want to purchase or sell bitcoins, you need to use a bank account, unless there is some LEGIT trader accepting Paypal.
Also I would like to the deal with the lower amount as possible, at least 1$.

Fraud is easy with Paypal, so you will not see many people accepting it.

I have no experience with them, Is it so easy to cancel a Payment with PayPal? I didn't know about that, so you can easily cancel an already made payment just by clicking an option? That's not a good behaviour for a Payment Processor. |

Still easy to get scammed there. If you want bitcoins without banks or paypal. Meet in person. Its strange I know, but people actually do that. Bring cash, bring a smartphone with a wallet and some time. Well you actually dont need a smartphone with a wallet, any way to check blockchain.info for your coins is fine. https://localbitcoins.com/https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=53.0Exchanges are not the only way--- |
Im not really here, its just your imagination.

Seems to be one of the parts in the bitcoiner's nature to hate paypal. And for good reasons. Most people here are very aware of risks when it comes to the internet and money, and therefore unlike any Common Joe avoids services like pay pal. Good look though.

Paypal and Bitcoin don't mix well. Paypal transactions can easily be disputed, while Bitcoin transactions are final. This brings in a lot of room for abuse. Now with the spreading rumors of mass account bans related to Bitcoin, I think it's not very wise to use Paypal and Bitcoin together.

Has anyone actually confirmed the Paypal "ban" on everything bitcoin related by the way? |

Oh yes definitely, I would avoid using PayPal. However rumors have been spread before that has hurt bitcoin somewhat and later on being proven false. Hopefully this one will too. But in the meantime it's best to avoid it I guess. |

I think Paypal regard Bitcoin as a payment method and exchanging from one payment method to another (if one of them is Paypal) is not allowed according to their TOS. |

If paypal find out that you sell/buy bitcoins with paypal they will suspend your account because it's against their rules. You could buy with paypal from individual trusted seller, im sure there are some just google them. Also don't include anything related with bitcoin in the message if you write anything. |

+1 to localbitcoins.
It is easy, and you don't need to do the lengthy verification process.

Try Virwox, their fees are pretty steep but they are 100% legit. 1: deposit funds through Paypal 2: exchange fiat for SLL 3: exchange SLL for Bitcoin 4: withdraw Bitcoin More info here: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/VirWoX |

Specoin is indeed a scam, took 1 minute to find out when googling it.
