If privacy is not too much a concern you can buy with PayPal at
www.weselldoges.com and get DOGE within a few minutes and then turn that into BTC. It's what I do when I don't want to wait for Coinbase which takes three days. They also have the same for Reddcoin and Darkcoin under the wesellcrypto.com banner. The problem you may have is that you must go though a verification process which will require at least a photo ID but it's all no different from what you may need to submit when you open up a investment account. Their terms can be read here:

So I would say just avoid it unless you are absolutely positive the person you are dealing with is legit.
That might involve uncecessary fees, and price fluctuations, that might not have been accounted for. If its a small amount like 5-10$, then buying Doge, exchanging, withdrawls from exchanges might have a lot of fees. But , buying with paypal on any site involves a high fees. So this, might just be the best option for you.
