Exchanges will always cost you a fee unless you can exchange with someone who agrees to give you 1:1.

With extreme caution!  Just by posting that here you make yourself a sitting duck for scammers and thieves.  You want to save time and you want to reduce costs.  You already fit the profile of an easy target.

Make sure you never do business with someone that approaches you by pm only. They must also post publicly on the forum here that they are trading with you.  That alone can save your bacon when a previous victim spots you in talks with someone that has ripped them off and warns you or brings something to your attention.  No one can advise you when it's all being done via pm.

ONLY deal with members with a trust rating.  Read their trust feedback.  And do not assume that a high post count and longevity on the forums means you are dealing with a long standing and trusted member.

And if someone gives you an escrow link to a members profile here, I advise you DO NOT click on that link.  Instead, make sure you are actually still here on this site (which is always https://bitcointalk.org  - the https is very important) and have not mistakenly ended up on a phishing site that is made to look exactly like this one and even has all the links to other forums so you suspect nothing.

For example, two days ago someone approached me in PM and after a few messages and agreeing to go ahead with selling him my bitcoins, he gave me this link to a long standing member's escrow which looked like this:   www.bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=303281  but actually took me to http://bitocintalk-topic303281.eu5.org/ . He has since taken down the page there which was a replica of this site but an altered version of the member's page with a different bitcoin address.

Check every link you are given in pm.  Chances are, it is taking you to a fake link with a thief's bitcoin address.
