Accepting Bitcoin?

Black Hat Pivot said:

People can use credit cards on paypal as it's a payment processor.

Bitcoin is a currency not a payment gateway.
So no you have to use bitcoin in order to use it.

Yes. You can use a bitcoin payment gateway such as BitPay where your customer would pay in bitcoin and they would send payment to you bank but yes your customers will have to pay in bitcoin.

Try coinpayments, much better in terms of setup. I guess bitpay have such different type of accounts but coinpayments is better..

Disclaimer: I have not used it, but integrated in one of my customer's project.

I would simply accept the bitcoin and find a service that will exchange it for you. I believe Neteller will give you a debit card and you can load your bitcoin into. Take takes much less time then services like localbitcoins.

Don't trade bitcoin for paypal as you will be scammed!

Why the need to accept bitcoin is there no other payment that would be easier.

Don't get me wrong I like bitcoin I accept on one of my sites the sells tech products but I have never gotten an order in it. A lot of people don't know how to use it.

You are right.
But, the problem is with Paypal.
It's my 2nd paypal account. They already limited my first one without any reason. I know one scammer opened a case against me, but I submitted all proofs and won the case.

Is it your own site? If so you can use all sorts of payment gateways. Paypal is not good, high fees and they usually side with scammers
What about Stripe?

Don't get me wrong bitcoin is great but unless your in a niche where people want to pay anonymously (bitcoin is not anonymous but people think it is) your going to find it hard to get people to pay you in Bitcoin.

Sadly, Stripe is not available in Indonesia.
People could buy my services even if they didn't have paypal account because with paypal I could accept card payments.
But with other payment processors, they don't have this option

Is this your own site? or are you using a market or other platform?

How about Doku as a payment Gateway?
