I know the US wires are essentially nonexistent at the moment. I have used the search box, so please forgive me for asking a question which I know has been asked repeatedly, but........

How long are withdrawals currently taking for residents of Europe?

Additionally, what are the costs associated with receiving a withdrawal from MtGox for Europeans? I am assuming it is a SEPA transfer, yet, since I have never used a SEPA, I dont know the costs.

It is the same sort of costs as an International wire (around $50)?

Thanks in advance.

Stay away from MtGox!

You will never get your money withdrawn!

That doesnt provide an answer to my questions.

I've been waiting a little over a month for a SEPA EUR transfer from mtgox at this point.

usually you do get your SEPA transfers, can take anything from 2 days > 2 months however :D

So is it just the Japanese domestic withdrawals which are happening without delay I assume?

I demanded my funds back after +2 months. Heard from others that were already waiting 5 months. That explains why everybody wants to buy BTC with their fiat on Mt. Gox. Since withdrawing BTC is not an issue.

lol, yea there is a reason why coins are going for 15 dollar or more than anywhere else.. the only way to cash them is to put them back into bitcoin and withdraw.. I see the days of mt.gox being numbered.. I dont think that they can recover from that 5 million dollar hit they took when the USA govt took the funds..  My advice, take the hit, buy the coins and move them. I was lucky and exchanged them when the coin was a lot lower, but at the time, It was a hit, now If I cashed out, I would break even.. so, it worked out in the end...

GET OUT OF GOX  WHILE YOU STILL CAN...

Thanks guys.

i live in europe and i wait for 1 month for a SEPA wire transfer (the fastest)!
so i decided to ask for refund, reconvert euros in BTC, withdraw bitcoin, and never use mtgox
This happened on may 2013.

MtGox in now playing typical fractional reserve banking game.
USD/EUR amount on your account with them is nothing more than just worthless digits.

I don't blame them as they are just another victim of "regulators".

you can see the thread "MtGox withdrawal delays gathering":
99 pages,
hundred of people having problems,
same answer from helpdesk to each of us;
so, as said before...
stay away...

It takes forever to wire transfer, so don't, do it on btc-e.com instead...

or bitstamp, or kraken

DON'T USE MTGOX, IT'S A SCAM.

Don't use scamgox, use coinbase..

I tried to do a bitcoin withdrawal. And they blocked that. Is there anyone here that can do bitcoin withdrawals with no problem from MtGox?

Did you get the "apostille" to notarize the documents. Look up on MtGox "Apostille needed countries". Find your country, and see if it tells you who or how to do that.
