It's actually easier than using PayPal, in my experience. Just open your client, copy-paste the recipient's address, hit Send, and voila, done.

You don't have to create an account, add credit/debit cards and bank accounts, get verified, etc.

Definitely no recourse if things go wrong, but also no way for black hats to game direct P2P BTC payments either, like they can with PayPal's resolution and chargeback system.




It's only easier if you already have some Bitcoin to use. Converting money to Bitcoin takes more time and effort than just using your credit card on Paypal.
