I use VirWoX without any problem , I think it is the best way to exchange Paypal balance to Bitcoin , it takes reasonable fee , also it offers many currencies not only the Dollar , and you can make a transfer without creating account , but it is recommended to creat an account.
to my knowledge, virwox is the most expensive method to exchange because it doesnot take resonable fees but yes, it takes more than average fees.
You consider it expensive , but I think paying high fee is better than losing all my money if I traded with unknown person in this forum , you see how many people lost their money here , and you can search for how many members who get negative trust because of scamming others , so I prefer VirWoX and that was my opinion , I also respect your opinion .
