Title: Looking to buy BTC
Post by: Maf1a on November 26, 2012, 12:45:38 PM
Hey guys been looking all around to buy btc and it seems quite impossible. I'm looking to buy 8 btc right now and all I have is a credit card. I know nobody takes these as payments from what i've seen but I didn;t know if there was a  way I could buy a gift card or something online and give you the code maybe. If you have a high reputation and good feedback I will gladly go first in the trade but I will most likely need help getting through the process because this is my first time buying btc.

No one will accept credit cards because of potential charge back

There are some additions to that list, specifically for paying with a credit card:

 - http://www.btcquick.com/ocart
 - http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=127840.0

They are new but they are the party taking the risk as your credit card has protections regarding non-delivery.  The fees are more than reasonable considering the risk of that payment method.

I've also seen Bitcoin Keys promoted here on the forum:

Bitinstant is the easiest way to buy.  If you can come up with any cash you can deposit at any number of locations and they will send money to an exchange where you can buy yourself or they will buy at the market rate and send it too any bitcoin address you specify.

Hope that helps.
