Don't think that this one will get you too far. Buying any significant amount of bitcoin using Paypal is next to impossible, unless you're a highly trusted party (e.g. friends or family or a reputable business like SecondMarket, but they wouldn't use Paypal anyway). It pretty much doesn't happen (apart from scams where a scammer will try to buy from unsuspecting users, then reverse the Paypal transaction and then lie to Paypal pretending they didn't buy anything. Paypal will side with the bad guy in 999/1000 cases, not because they're evil but it's policy. In fact, paypal shuts down bitcoin sellers by freezing their account.
