In UK - by bank transfer

Hi xifer,

Are you able to send PM? If not can you let me know your email address.

Kind Regards

If you don't end up with a trade here, your options include:

Blockchain.info has added the ability to use Barclay's Pingit to buy bitcoins using GBP:

Bitcoin-Central has launched its BTC/GBP market, where you can trade after transferring pounds sterling to their bank in France.  The order book is pretty thin yet but they did just launch:
 - https://bitcoin-central.net/order_book?currency=GBP


You can also send cash (GBP) in the mail to Bitcoin Nordic (in Denmark):
 - http://www.BitcoinNordic.com


And, or course, there may be a chance for a local trade:
 - http://www.LocalBitcoins.com

It's gotten harder to buy btc in the uk in a reasonable amount of time after mt.gox stopped taking cash deposits and intersango's had their uk bank closed :(

(also looking to buy bitcoins via bank transfer if anyone is interested)

Have you tried Blockchain.info's new Pingit purchase method?   It gets pretty heavy use now.

Have you tried Bitcoin-Central?

Tried setting up the pingit service however I never recieved the penny deposit with the reference code - and if you try and call the help line, you get put through to a call centre in india, with a horrible, horrible connection, so it's basically impossible to get anything sorted out.

I've not tried bitcoin-central however

Hi Propanoic,

I can sell you BTC via UK Bank transfer. How many do you need?

PM sent

I'm glad to hear this.

I haven't tried it yet, but only because my banks online service is down. As soon as I can top up my ping it account, I'll give it a go.

There's tons of buyers and sellers on localbitcoins.  Only trade with sellers who have a lot of feedback, and don't pay attention to the location as long as they are in the UK since you are paying with a bank transfer.  Localbitcoins is going to change their site to facilitate these types of trades instead of trading in person.

Link's to U.K sellers are available in the following forum:

Highly recommend checking out "Alwaysmining", quick to reply & prompt send out of  BTC.

Got sorted quickly and easily by og2k - thanks.  I'll talk to you first next time!

This.

Great dealing with xifer. Fast transfer and good communication.
Thanks, I look forward to doing business again. A+

sent GBP to Bitcoin-Central 26/10 - my account is still not credited.  Transfers elsewhere always got credited next day.  Sorry to say i won't be going there again.
