Title: As a lebanese, how do I buy bitcoins with a credit card? Post by: lebceleb on August 28, 2011, 04:43:23 PM I've wanted to buy bitcoins for almost 1 month now, I have researched and searched this forum in full. The only method I've found that is semi-working is using the btc-e exchange, dealing with interkassa (which I can't understand anything from as it is in Russian), and then depositing and withdrawing using the btc-e. However, it seems a very long and expensive process considering this sequence takes like ~20% extra of the money I intend to pay.
Keep in mind I can't use paypal as it is not supported in my country, which is the biggest deal-breaker. Sorry for posting here but being a newbie I'm restricted to other sections. Thank you very much! Title: Re: As a lebanese, how do I buy bitcoins with a credit card? Post by: julz on August 28, 2011, 04:56:19 PM I've heard you can do it with credit cards in a round-about way by using 2nd Life to buy Lindens and then convert to bitcoin on the Virwox exchange..
Do 'International Wire' bank transfers work from Lebanon to Hong Kong? If so you could deposit to mtgox. Title: Re: As a lebanese, how do I buy bitcoins with a credit card? Post by: lebceleb on August 28, 2011, 05:05:17 PM Okay thank you!
I'll look into that and get back in case of trouble. Title: Re: As a lebanese, how do I buy bitcoins with a credit card? Post by: Pearikay on August 28, 2011, 05:26:14 PM Good luck :)

Title: Re: As a lebanese, how do I buy bitcoins with a credit card? Post by: Stephen Gornick on August 30, 2011, 08:42:46 AM Is there perhaps anyone local who will do a trade in-person with you?
- http://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Category:Local Look at Bitcoin.local, BTC Near Me, Ubitex, etc. Also, you might put a buy order in the #bitcoin-otc and see if maybe someone will see it and inquire directly. - http://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Bitcoin-otc Another option might be to try a friends and family connection. For instance, if you have a family member or friend located in the U.S., for instance, they might assist by accepting funds from you through PayPal (or credit card if they have Square, for example), and then deposits cash for you in an exchange account with ExchB, for example. In Canada, the same thing is possible -- through VirtEx. Title: Re: As a lebanese, how do I buy bitcoins with a credit card? Post by: nmat on August 30, 2011, 10:29:28 AM What about Google Checkout? If you don't mind paying double: http://www.btcnow.net/ (I know paying $18 for a bitcoin is stupid, but if you're desperate and need it really fast.....)
