From what I've learned previously, the dudes running Virwox have suits (ie. lawyers) specializing in virtual currencies, and they were around before bitcoin I think. Aren't they big on Linden dollars? So that might be the answer as to why they've been successfull dealing with Paypal for a long time, while small dealers have been quite unsuccesful attempting the same.

But Paypal recently announced some sort of bitcoin integration in their systems, so eventually they might go full blown into bitcoin.

Personally I'd rather see bitcoin take over for Paypal, than to see Paypal embrace bitcoin..

Yes Virwox are the guys with the Linden dollars. And i think their system works someting like this: BTC to Linden Dollars to EUR.

Probably that is why CryptoSea decided to use them for paypal transactions, to avoid getting banned by paypal foir doing direct BTC to EUR transactions.

I would like to see Bitcoin over Paypal too, fingers crossed.

I never used Virwox though, I've heard their fees are quite steep. But if you want to go paypal -> bitcoin with a middle link, it might be an option..
