Is there a market where I can buy apps with PayPal? Will the original Market going to support payment with PayPal?

With the recent legal bickering between eBay and Google, I'd say that the Android Market starting to accept PayPal (owned by eBay) is highly unlikely any time soon:

There are other alternative markets like SlideMe that I believe do offer PayPal.
Neither Google Android Market nor the Amazon Appstore support Paypal.
SlideMe.org is an alternative market which does support Paypal payments. It's not a mirror, so you won't find as many apps as you would in the official Google Market.
There is no official support for Paypal in the android market, and seeing how Google and Paypal now seem to be competing a bit, I doubt there ever will be. But, if you want to use Paypal, you may be able to sign up for the Paypal Debit card and link that to your Google Checkout account. Then you will be using Paypal to make your purchases, and you can earn %1 cash back on the purchase.
Google allows Play Store apps to be purchased using PayPal (starting from May 15, 2014):
Starting today, we're making it possible for people to choose PayPal for their Google Play purchases in 12 countries, including the U.S., Germany, and Canada. When you make a purchase on Google Play in these countries, you'll find PayPal as an option in your Google Wallet; just enter your PayPal account login and you'll easily be able to make purchases.

If you really need to do this, you could get a debit card hooked to your paypal account. Both their straight debit card, and their prepaid debit card are master-card branded, so you can use them as your Google app store payment option.
It's not the app store taking Paypal, of course, but it gets you what you want without the players involved having to come to any agreements.
You can buy a gift card and use it yourself. I have used paypal to buy gift card from www.pcgamesupply.com and redeem it on google play.
