Title: Using OK Pay to Fund BTC-E Post by: wezy904 on May 29, 2013, 10:02:46 AM Just got an update from OK Pay and its not good. This is the information below:-
Request #SR13050047057 OK Pay to fund BTC-E account Edward Campbell I intend to use my OK Pay account to fund a Bitcoin trading account at BTC-E (https://btc-e.com/). Can you confirm for me that once I transfer money into my OK Pay account, I will be able to send payments to this BTC-E account? I do not have any experience with this trading platform and am hoping to get favorable history to comfort my apprehension about sending money to BTC-E this way. Hope to hear from you soon. Kind regards, Edward Campbell 5/28/2013 11:28 AM GMT Comments OKPAY Support Hello, we no longer allow payments to bitcoin exchangers. 5/29/2013 9:54 AM GMT Title: Re: Using OK Pay to Fund BTC-E Post by: evilscoop on May 29, 2013, 10:05:24 AM yesterdays news....
just another money exchanger bowing to gov pressure Title: Re: Using OK Pay to Fund BTC-E Post by: Promethium on May 29, 2013, 11:06:53 AM OKPay is anything but fast I've had delays of two days. >:( Try using an International Wire Transfer. It's cheaper in the long run.
Title: Re: Using OK Pay to Fund BTC-E Post by: wezy904 on May 29, 2013, 01:27:11 PM I have been trying to find an alternative to sending my money to BTC-E via wire transfer. The reason for this is it seems the wire transfer information they sent to me seems dubious at best.
- It seems strange to me that 1. The UK company that I am sending my monies to has not filed tax returns since it was formed in 2011/2012. 2. The Bank you want me to send the money to is located in Georgia (Russia) 3. The invoice requires I list this payment as advertising payments. Something just does not SEEM correct here. Are there any people out there who have had good experiences with BTC-E wire transfer? Title: Re: Using OK Pay to Fund BTC-E Post by: evilscoop on May 29, 2013, 01:42:11 PM btc-e is dodgy as hell...
I expect it to be next to be shut down... stick with bitstamp...any exchange that does not require verification is asking for trouble Title: Re: Using OK Pay to Fund BTC-E Post by: ivanb on May 29, 2013, 01:46:12 PM Maybe you can try this:
Open an account and get verified on bistamp.net. I have very good experience with the sepa transfer of € and exchange into $ (2-3 buisness days). Buy your bitcoins at bistamp.net and transfer them wihout withdrawel fee to btc-e and sell them for the currency you like. Right now you will hawe a loss of maybe 3-4% and thats about the same as it was with bank transfer to okpay and than from okpay to btc-e. Actual ASK price at bistamp is: 127.20 -0.5% fee Actual BID Price at btc-e is: 125.64 -0.02 fee Actually btc-e offers a lot more Deposit options.
