Title: Australians: Deposit cash, get bitcoins
Post by: Jeremy West spendbitcoins.com on October 07, 2011, 08:36:33 AM
This is the newbie feedback page for the new service for Australians offered by Jeremy West of http://spendbitcoins.com.

IMPORTANT NOTE: TO AVOID WHAT HAPPENED TO TECHNOCASH (https://support.mtgox.com/entries/20471386-technocash-account-closure) WE ARE ONLY ACCEPTING IN-PERSON CASH DEPOSITS (NO BANK TRANSFERS).

Buy bitcoins with your Australian Dollars in 3 easy steps:

1) Request a quote at http://bitcoins.aunz.ws.
2) You will receive an email back with our account details. Deposit cash at any of the thousands of NAB branches Australia wide (no bank transfers due to identity theft and anti-money-laundering regulations).
3) Scan (or take a photo with your phone) and email a copy of the handwritten, stamped deposit receipt (this is not a special receipt, it is the normal receipt NAB gives for a cash deposit) to buybitcoinsATaunz.ws.

Voila! By 10pm, you will receive bitcoins to your bitcoin receiving address. Once you have received your bitcoins, please post feedback here on our service. Any issues, email buybitcoinsATaunz.ws.

Please see our current feedback at http://bitcoinfeedback.spendbitcoins.com and http://feedback.spendbitcoins.com.

This part I don't really like  mate, as an Aussie it's good to have a  service, taking  your cut for  your service of about 15% I can understand but this a bit too much

?? Firstly, my current cut is about 2-3% based on the best aud-usd-btc exchange rate I can find.

Secondly, I don't understand what you dislike. Scanning and emailing the receipt? Can you think of another way for me to know who made the deposit?

Netbank reference code??? For security purposes it's just a high a risk having your signature on record and face on a bank camera than a netbank transfer, still leaves a paper trail.

Hey 3& or 15 % as I said that's what you got to do....I'll use your service to check it out though  :)

Ah, I see what you're saying.

I would love to do net bank transfer. Unfortunately there has been too much fraud involving bitcoin and bank transfers have been reversed on service providers, which is not a risk I am able to take. Wish that were not the case!
