Title: Any easy way to purchase LTC or BTC with a UK bank transfer, Debit Card, Skrill Post by: luckyling on November 28, 2013, 03:02:53 AM I've been looking all over for a relatively easy way to purchase BTC or LTC using my UK debit card or Skrill/Neteller.
Is my best bet to look on Localbitcoins and hope to find someone that's accepting UKBT at a reasonable rate? If I manage to get some BTC where is the best place to exchange them for LTC?

I will probably buy my btcs on localbitcoin just for the instant access to jump into this without the week(s) long delay. i do know theres a litecoinlocal.org or try btc-e for ltc or other coins once you get going. good luck

Key is to get the right timing on what the market is doing - if there's a rally, wait a bit until you find someone selling at a price you feel happy with.

we also offer that service as well.

I have signed up with Kraken, but that is taking ages and still involves international transfers. Bittylicious and Bitbargain are very expensive.
Some people sell tiny amounts on ebay. I'm not sure whether this is reliable or not. I'd also like to be able to make posts elsewhere. Title: Re: Any easy way to purchase LTC or BTC with a UK bank transfer, Debit Card, Skrill Post by: andye on November 28, 2013, 12:27:39 PM BitBargain works for me.
Yes it's more expensive than Gox at any given point in time - but think about the time it takes you to get the money into Gox (or wherever). In that time the price will change in the whole market (at the moment, usually upwards). So it might be cheaper to just eat the price difference (between BitBargain and other venues such as Gox) rather than wait for interenational bank transfers etc. Depending on which way you think prices are going, of course. |
