Best way to buy bitcoins with paypal?

[casascius]

I don't know - I just recently noticed that only the smaller denominations are for sale at Memory Dealers.  I know PayPal threw a fit, but haven't heard if the credit card companies threw a fit too, or if there were recent problems I haven't heard about (fraud, etc.)

There should be a special paypal transaction, where the user agrees that there cannot be a chargeback. I refuse all paypal transactions as seller and always want paypal as buyer

Another huge problem are those stupid fees of 3% as a seller

Can't because Paypal is simply a front for CC.  If a paypal account is hacked and the hacker uses it to purchase $20,000 in a no-chargeback tx (possibly to himself) do you think a) the customer is just going to say "oh well guess I have a $20,000 CC bill" or b) Paypal says "guess we eat $20K"?

The entire credit card model is based around no personal responsibility (except by merchants who take the cost/weight of all fraud).  You can't build an entire economic system w/ no responsibility and then at the highest level make it irreversible.

If you want irreversible tx it needs to be irreversible from the ground up.

Not many people are willing to sell bitcoins through paypal. It has a horribly bad track record of being scammed.

PM to purchase. I do require verification.

I used virwox.com and it worked out about £9 a coin with Paypal.

I'm just not sure why some people are so set on PayPal.
An alternative that's more generally accepted is Dwolla (or depending on where you have your checking account there are other alternatives).

If you've got funds in a Dwolla account, you might as well use MtGox.  It's a piece of cake once you get the funds to Dwolla.

Can I upload funds to dwolla straight from my Card?

Nope, only bank transfer to dwolla.

Thanks. Is there are any comission to transfer from dwolla to Gox? BTW I have read that dwolla was attacked and hacked in past, so is it safe?

What's the deal with VirWox ? Do you need to actually have an account on second life to do the PP > L$ > BTC trick ?

No, I don't believe you need to have or validate a second life avatar in order to buy L$ with PayPal, nor to trade them for BTC.

[Edit: Instructions here:
It also shows that you don't need to confirm the avatar.
