Title: Buying BTC
Post by: x0Jakeyboy0x on June 22, 2011, 11:32:45 PM
I am interested in buying BTC with a prepaid visa giftcard. Does anyone know of a fairly easy way to accomplish this? Or perhaps would anyone be interested in selling me what i need and accept the payment option?

I have a $100 USD giftcard. I am looking to buy BTC at around 13 USD or TradeHill money.

Thanks,
Jake

I reccomend purchasing from known exchange sites to prevent scams.

I would indeed like to do this. Could you recommend a specific path for me to take though? Seem to be so many and I'd like the quickest and easiest.

I think your best bet would be to post the gift card in the bitcoin marketplace under buying.

If nothing comes of this post, that's the route I think I'm going to take as soon as i get out of being stuck in the newbie forum. Just worried about getting scammed. Wish these trading companies had more deposit options.

You could try making your own LiqPay account, funding it with the prepaid card then exchanging that LiqPay for Liberty Reserve with another exchanger (to buy BTC).

Don't know if they will accept a PPD card though

Hmmm. Seems like a viable option but i rather not give up my phone number. I guess i'm gonna try to sell in the marketplace.
