This is really a dangerous avenue to pursue, man. I mean, way too much info can be obtained doing this, since u both will know what/where it is for. If you use get-bitcoin.com, thru the cash deposit, nobody asks for any i.d. Not the bank, not get-btc...while paypal you are revealing a lot. Age doesn't have anything to do with it...I'm not trying to discourage you, just sayin' There's usually btc for sale on paypal anyway, and many have bought them, in a pinch, but they cost a lot more than the going rate...but that's supply and demand for you...using paypal with somebody u've met on here is sure giving a whole lot of *traceable* info out...
If I absolutely *had* to use Paypal, I'd rather buy from some stranger with a good feedback than somebody from SR who could be 'u know who'...

btc for paypal is dangerous.
First off you're putting all your info out there for the seller to see. So if you do it here, you could be opening yourself up to major problems.
IF you have no other choice, do it via another site...put them through a tumble or two and then use them here would be my suggestion.

Try virwox.com. You can deposit with PayPal, buy Linden$ (SecondLife currency), then use the Linden$ to buy BTC.
There is a daily limit for PayPal transactions, $60/day initially then $85 a few days later. It'll take you a few days to get 30BTC but it's the only 100% safe way I know of given your situation.
You _may_ have to download the SecondLife client, log in and find a VirWox station to verify your virwox account. Not sure if this is required to get BTC.
Also note that you will lose a little bit of money at every step. PayPal will charge you a fee and VirWox will charge you two: once when you go $->Linden$ and again when you go Linden$->BTC.
Hope that helps!

Virwox Only allows you to buy/sell even numbers. Get-bitcoin.com cash deposit is easier and likely cheaper (5% fee). http://exchangezone.com just started offering BTC but there aren't many people buying/selling them since they fluctuate so much. It may be worth a try however.

to use get-bitcoin.com all u really need is an email addy. no other info is really needed, and no i.d. either...not at bank to deposit cash, and certainly not online to do transaction...it's even better than exchangebitcoin was, since you don't need to join, either....friendly, too, with emails...
