Title: Newb Trying to get BTCpak
Post by: claire on October 01, 2012, 06:28:22 PM
I'm getting frustrated. LOL If it says you need 9.3 btc to get a $100 mp, how much extra do you really need? My btc is getting refunded and I need the cash on my card for groceries. Otherwise btc is pointless to me and I'll just go back to waiting 5  days for the bank.  >:(

I'd post this in the other area, but obviously I'm a newb here. :P

Thanks

I don't BTCpak charges anything "extra". If it says 9.3 BTC it should be 9.3 BTC.

If you are still having problems our Fastcash4Bitcoins service (see sig) also offers MoneyPaks.  At current exchange rate it is 9.27487 BTC for a $100 MP (and better rates for $250 & $500 MPs).

Fastcash has a $10.00 fee. Is that taken out in bitcoins in the beginning or is it deducted some other way?

Thanks

10% transaction fee? what's the point of dealing in BTC then?!

Mine is an emergency withdrawal otherwise I'd find another way.

Hmm, depending on the store you shop at, you might be able to get a gift card instead of moneypak.

It shows in the payout estimate.   The $10 fee is included in the total BTC.  9.267 BTC = $110 total - $10 fee = $100 net paid.  You will get a $100 MoneyPak for transferring 9.267 BTC.  Note the amounts adjust in realtime the above amount was just an example at the time of writing.

Simpler version .... if you pay the amount of BTC it tells you to pay you will get the amount of funds it says you will get. :)

OK thanks. I'll check it out. I'm assuming that is what the other place does too it's just not as obvious and it's hard to notice when the value is so much higher than the USD.

I tried it a few times and it didn't work. I needed the money faster than that yesterday. I'll try it again when I need it again. I do appreciate the services people create like btcpak and fastcash4bitcoins. I think that latter one is a bit more expensive than btcpak, but I had to use it and it worked great.

I wish the merchant services I applied for would hurry up so I can make even more cash :P
