PayPal / USDT / Solana Crypto Guide 10.21.25

[peptideusername]

Back in the day (a little over a year ago), people were spending $10-$30+ to buy crypto to pay for their peptides. In my infinite cheapness, I sought a different, i.e. cheaper way to do it.

That's when I discovered that you can use PayPal to buy crypto, specifically USDT/USDC on Solana, for no fee. However, since putting this together, PayPal has instituted a 1.5% fee when buying through Exodus Wallet. It's a minimal fee and not bad if you value the convenience.

This crypto purchase method allows you to purchase stable coins, which are pegged to the US Dollar, and convert to other stable coins on the Solana chain, which completely avoids market volatility. You can't profit with these coins, but you can't really lose value either.

You may have seen a version of this elsewhere, but this in the most updated version.

Please let me know if you have any questions! I've been answering them for over a year so I'm sure I've heard it before and probably have an answer!

Thank You, Thank You, Thank You. I keep getting confused with all the payment types. This instructional appears easy enough for even me to follow.

Thank you for taking the time to put this together...I know it will help a ton of people including myself

I used an older version of this to learn how to do crypto, and am about to make my first with-crypto purchase using it this week!

I’m getting stuck here. It won’t let me add my state. Any ideas? I’m in Michigan

I wish more vendors took usdc base. Basically Free on coinbase to purchase and send.

I have done the method you describe for one of my previous purchases. The vendors I have used required USDT tron network, making me convert it from the sol network. I wish they would all conform to the same network type to make it easier.

That's a new one to me, sorry! I'm not sure and honestly it could be a hundred different things.

If you are SO very brand new to crypto, you might have an unexpected pause of several days when you get to the "send your PYUSD to the Exodus wallet" part, if you've bought it using your bank. PYUSD bought using your bank instead of a debit card may take several days to clear, so it shows that you have it, but you can't send it anywhere. That's happening for me right now, which is no big deal; I could ALWAYS use help slowing down my purchases, and I don't need my SS-31 for a few weeks anyway. Mentioning it only to save anyone that "all dressed up and no place to go" sad-trombone if you don't account for it!

Is there any advice on how to do this process in the UK? I have tried but exodus says it isnt available in the UK at the moment.

You try a VPN connection? Have heard others say that in UK.

I found another way to by pass my issue but now I have tried twice to use credit card to purchase and both failed. I first tried chase but remembered another forum member having trouble with chase and then I tried bank of america and same thing happened. I am wondering if I can just use my ledger for the transaction to purchase with crypto? or at the very least try to send sol to the exodus wallet from my ledger. which is kind of a stupid question.....
