VirWoX (/en/buy-bitcoin-paypal/#virwox-review)  Popular

 Read Review (/en/buy-bitcoin-paypal/#virwox-review)  Buy Bitcoin (http://buybitcoinww.co/bitcoin_virwox)
Technically, VirWoX isn't even a Bitcoin exchange. It mainly serves as a way for people to buy Second Life Lindens, a
currency used in the virtual world Second Life. You can't buy Bitcoin with PayPal directly at VirWoX, but it's possible to first
buy Second Life Lindens (SLL) and then trade your SLL for Bitcoin. This process works perfectly, but in the end will cost you
about 10% in fees.

This workaround/hack has made VirWoX the easiest and most popular way to buy bitcoins with PayPal (/en/buy-bitcoin-
paypal/).

PROS
 The easiest and basically only way to purchase bitcoins with PayPal or Skrill

CONS
 Comes with a price: it will cost around 10% in fees to buy with PayPal

 Buy Bitcoin (/kb/buy-bitcoin-without-verification-id/#bitcoin-otc)
Bitcoin-OTC is an over-the-counter marketplace for the peer to peer exchanging of bitcoin. It is almost like a Craigslist for
Bitcoin. Users must create ads or locate other ads to find sellers of bitcoin. Bitcoin-OTC is somewhat complicated and hard
to use, but may be the only option for users in some countries without an exchange.
