History of CoinPal exchange that lasted very shortly for only four months.
Quote
CoinPal was an exchange that accepted PayPal for relatively small order sizes and a weekly limit on purchases.

The site was first publicly available on December 31, 2010[1]. On January 14th, 2010 CoinPal introduced an API that allows merchants and others seeking payment to use the service to accept micro-payments[2]. The operator of the site also operates CoinCard for selling bitcoins.

On April 30th PayPal froze the exchange operator's PayPal account and the exchange announced that service had ended[3].
