4. Buy Bitcoins using PayPal & WirexApp:
Wirexapp is one of the best ways for anyone who is looking to buy Bitcoins using PayPal on a consistent basis. This method would take 1-2 days for the first time & after that, it’s all instant.
Just follow the steps mentioned in this tutorial & then you will be able to use your PayPal funds to Buy Bitcoins. This method can be used for PayPal accounts within these countries:

- To get started, you need a WirexApp account. Create an account here
- When you create and verify your account, you get a free virtual visa card. (You can also order Physical visa card but for now, let’s focus on the fastest method).
- To use this method you need to add a small amount ($3) to your virtual visa card from Wirexapp. This is important to add the card to your PayPal account.
- Now, login to your PayPal account, Click on Money & Click on Add a card
Click on Add a new card
Now here enter the virtual debit card detail you got from Wirexapp.
PayPal will ask you to confirm the new card. Click ‘Confirm my card’ and PayPal will begin a series of transactions to verify your card. This is where your balance of $3 will be used (This will be reversed later). This is a standard practice by PayPal that they use to verify an account. It will then ask you to enter a PayPal Code.
Now login to your Wirexapp account & under transaction you will find the confirmation code to verify your debit card.
Just confirm the code & you will see a success message like this.
Click on close & now you are all set to start purchasing Bitcoins using your PayPal money. Now all you need to do is, withdraw money from your PayPal account to linked Wirexapp debit card.
Usually, this takes between 1-7 days for the fund to withdraw to your linked card. Once this is done, you can use Wirexapp interface to Purchase Bitcoins.

Hello Harsh,
Thanks for sharing this valuable post. But I think charges of these sites are little bit more than Zebpay/Unocoin.
Hello Sir
Thanks for Sharing This Really Valuable Information for a beginner like me.
why you create currency blog your shoutmeloud is already rocking in the field of tech, blog and so many other things
@Sachin
Because can’t really write about Blockchain and Fintech on ShoutMeLoud. Different topics altogether. I believe Blockchain/Crypto will become a major thing in future and youngsters like you and me should know how to use it. So, here comes CoinSutra along with ShoutMeLoud. 🙂
I as tired of the too many verification when buying or selling bitcoins. Now I buy from liviacoins.com and there is no verification needed.
Sure will look into it
Awesome. I never knew about the Wirexapp method.
Hey Harsh!
I guess none of these methods will work for Indian paypal. Am I right ?
Hi, nice blog and i’m loving this site. I have a newbie question. I have bought some Ether and starting to invest in altcoins like NEO, Ripple, IOTA etc. I know I can buy them on exchanges such as Bittrex, Binance etc by sending some Ether or Bitcoins. My questions are:
(1) How do I convert them back to fiat currency? I’d assume I need to convert alts into Ether or Bitcoins?
(2) If so, isn’t my profits really determined by how much the alt coins I had appreciated against Ether or Bitcoin?
(3) Does it mean any investment in Alts have to be better than that of either bitcoin or Ether for it to make investment sense?
Thanks in advance
1) Convert it into BTC because BTC has the maximum liquidity for fiat pairs.
2) Yes
3) Strive to accumulate more on BTC and ETH percentage wise. For example you both something in 1000 Satoshi it is better to sell at more satoshi value. But many people do it in terms of USD so it depends on how you want to do it. profit margins can vary depending on various factors.
Thanx giving this me this type of type of hack the easiest way of buying bitcoins.
Hello Harsh,

Thanks for the wonderful information guys. I have been trying LocalBitcoins but most of the time the transaction gets cancelled wherein the seller directly reverts back stating they don’t want to do the trade with me. Is it because am new to the system? How can I improve my reputation on site?
Thanks
