Buying Ethereum With PayPal

There are two ways to purchase Ethereum on the platform: you can browse the different offers that accept PayPal as an option, or you can create an offer to buy the asset.

Should you be of the present offers appeal to you, creating your own is the best bet. The seller will pay a 0.75 percent fee, while you only pay 0.25 percent. To make one, you'll head to the 'Offers' page.

Creating An Offer

Here, you'll select the 'Buy ether for money' box. You'll have to insert your city, preferred payment method (PayPal), and your accepted local currency. Choose the margins and your preferred exchange market price, such as Kraken or Bitfinex. Once done, you can select your maximum and minimum limits in your preferred fiat currency.

Then you have the targeting options. You can choose to create a headline for attention, and display your "standard hours" of availability. These options are all skippable, but are essential for drawing attention to your offer. Finally, decide if anyone can trade with you, or just users with a verified phone number.

Upon hitting confirm, your offer will be live. You can choose to edit or cancel it at any time from within the website. When someone decides to match that offer, you'll be placed into a chat section that we'll get into later on.

After picking one, you'll go into a chat with the seller. They can not wait until they move the Ether in escrow before moving forward.

When the seller places the Ether in escrow, they'll send to PayPal e-mails in the chat.

After confirmation, the Ethereum will be in whichever wallet is connected to your account. Leave the seller a rating and enjoy your newly acquired digital assets.
