Hello, I'm trying to buy 18 BitCoins through Paypal. I understand the risks involved but honestly I have no other efficient method.

I'm willing to go first if you are reputable. If you're not willing to go first then please have a verified Middleman before initiating the trade.

My Paypal is verified.

There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, but full nodes are more resource-heavy, and they must do a lengthy initial syncing process. As a result, lightweight clients with somewhat less security are commonly used.

If your paypal is verified, you have to have a bank account; correct?  Why can't you do a bank transfer?

Because I have money in Paypal which is intended for BitCoins. I avoid credit cards for typical reasons and have a debt card attached which means I have to wait a minimum week to transfer my funds while Paypal is instant.

I'm buying these BitCoins to immediately spend them afterwards. Figured using Paypal would be quicker.

Now here's my question: Are you actually interested in selling BTC through Paypal or completely intended on calling me out?

Good luck finding some willing to accept your Paypal without a solid reputation.  Paypal is openly hostile to Bitcoin, and will freeze accounts for 6 months if they find out you are dealing with them, not to mention the chargeback risk.

While no idea is perfect, some ideas are useful.
