http://btc.sx is the only one i know of for sure. its one of the lesser known but higher quality sites. i believe campbx has some of the same features, but is far less reliable.

You can do it with the MT4 client for BTC-e. But this is new and the reliability questionable.

thanks for all the suggestions. I didn't know there were so many.

Not a big fan of btc-e but I will try the others .... at the right time of course  ;)

Best place to short bitcoins is bitfinex.com by far.  The interest rate for margin when shorting bitcoins is so low that it is almost 0.  bitfinex also offers wire deposits and cashouts.  I can get you 5% lifetime rebate also via sig.

I've used the bitfinex loan system. Loaned people money for X days, got told this was the minimum term the loan would run for, then after X-lots days the loan just disappeared. When asked management they said they couldn't do anything about it. Kind of pissed me off to be honest. You can't have a minimum loan period which is barely ever honoured by the person borrowing the money.

Btc.sx is a bunch of thieves, stealing their users money and ignoring them. And I'm not the only one having problems.
