If I understand what you are missing, you need to use Localbitcoin.com or Paxful, the platform is easy and people are trusted "check them profiles" to buy and sell BTC safely.
About converting to PayPal try virwox "High fees but trusted exchange.".
You obviously have not used Localbitcoin.com recently, they also started to request KYC verification these days.

They were the go to service for these kinds of service, but they also bowed to government pressure. The problem is, as soon as there are Fiat involved and also Banks, the service used will always demand KYC/AML verification. <Fiat = Government money>
You might try some of the decentralized exchanges, because some of them are still new and they do not require verification yet. <They might be too dificult for newbies>
