Title: BUYING ETHEREUM IN UK
Post by: banksy22 on October 22, 2017, 01:24:07 PM
Apologies - I think I put this post in the wrong forum to being with and it won't let me delete it !!!

Try again ...

Firstly , apologies if this has been covered before.

I am based in the UK and have started buying Ethereum - aside form the amazing timing of these purchases - i think EVERY coin I have bought has now of course dropped in value (!!!) how do I avoid the huge % buying costs ??

At the moment I currently use " cryptomate " - really professional / excellent service etc but it works out around 10% above the " spot " price taking everything into consideration.

I assume the most cost effective way is go direct to an exchange but it seems really difficult to actually get a decent amount of GBP on ?? Could some one point me in the right direction ??

Essentially I am trying to find the most cost effective way of buying a decent (£10K+ ) amount of Ethereum allowing for currency exchange etc.

Many thanks in advance for any help anyone can give me.

what do you use for payment?
credit card ?
paypal?
or wire transfer?
you can see at bestchange ( search at google )
or you can buy bitcoin and exchange to etherum at exchanger

Many thx mate.

At present I am using UK bank transfer with " crypto mate " and as I say it is costing around 10%.

I can pay by card / bank transfer - whatever makes it cheaper ??

I have looked at exchanges like " Kraken " but it just seems a real dram funding you account in the first place ???

Where would you recommend buying Bitcoin with UK transfer - I assume it would then work out cheaper and just exchange it for ETH ???

I have been using blockchain.info as well, it would be a lot easier and safer for you to go that route.

I prefer not to go through all the hassle and just purchase through an exchange. Much easier that way, and to me price fluctuation does not matter in certain sections.

Use coinbase buddy, it has lower limits to start but the fees are low.

you have to try once coinbase. it is better to use. and next blockchain.in they both are good web sites for using so try to once search in chrome. but maximum my suggestion is to prefer blockchain and coinbase are good. next year eth coin price going to up so you have to buy it happily. next try any other site for using eth coins.
