Title: Best place to sell BTC in Australia? > 10 BTC
Post by: sjaa3489 on December 16, 2013, 05:02:30 AM
I have over 10 BTC I want to sell. What is the best Australian service to sell to? Some things to consider -

- can I sell 10 BTC or more?
- what are ID requirements
- reputation of service

KYC - I am nervous about giving all my dox to an "exchange" run by a bunch of 20-somethings. What are the ID requirements when selling? I intend to pay my taxes etc and don't intend to be anonymous - I simply do not trust many exchanges out there with my personal details.

What are other options?

- Mtgox - wire would never arrive to Australia?
- Coinbase - will not send wire international
- bitstamp - euro exchange - Australian banks probably get nervous
- campbx/kraken - no volume?
- localbitcoins - meeting strangers with thousands of $? - No thanks.

Limited options.

Thank you d

Coinjar?
Btradeaustralia? (never tried, but had them on the phone, seemed legit..)

1.  Fly to Hawaii and set up a US bank account and then use coinbase.

Or

2.  I'll offer you $5k AUD for 10 BTC.  We can do small transactions so both comfortable.  ;D

I don't see the problem with localbitcoins.com. Just meet in a public place if you fear the fact of being ripped off.

I want to sell over 10K AUD. localbitcoins does not scale.

What ID does coinjar ask for for selling only?

I read about another exchange BTC markets but they have no volume. They use a third-party (Edentiti) for ID verification (government approved).

Coinjar sounds interesting. But how do we know what their policies are with keeping client ID info safe?

Has anyone heard of any updates if coinbase will wire internationally?

To sell on coinjar requires full verification and bank account linked.
