Title: Buying BTC with credit card? Post by: nzminer on April 26, 2014, 02:51:22 AM What exchange allows this?
If any such exchanges do this, whats the best rate? I need some BTC as im wanting to invest in other altcoins. Title: Re: Buying BTC with credit card? Post by: Vod on April 26, 2014, 02:54:38 AM What exchange allows this? If any such exchanges do this, whats the best rate? I need some BTC as im wanting to invest in other altcoins. I would never sell BTC to someone using a credit card, unless I knew them personally. They can always claim the card was stolen and recover the funds. You can't recover the bitcoins. Are you looking to scam someone? Title: Re: Buying BTC with credit card? Post by: MrBea on April 26, 2014, 03:47:02 AM Coinbase

Im not that stupid, although i do understand some members make such transactions on this forum if they have a high trust level. All im getting at is that all the exchanges such as cryptsy require you to spend BTC and not USD, and those that let you buy BTC with USD dont accept credit cards. Title: Re: Buying BTC with credit card? Post by: PerrythePlatypus on April 26, 2014, 04:35:22 AM What exchange allows this? Hardly anyone accept credit card since you can claim your credit card to be hacked and get refunded. Just go to a bitcoin atm and buy using cash.If any such exchanges do this, whats the best rate?

Im in New Zealand and Auckland is the only place with a Bitcoin ATM. Besides i thought those ATM's took credit cards, but perhaps im wrong, i thought paypal was the issue for refunds, are there not any escrow services? Its annoying for me because i dont have a US bank account. Title: Re: Buying BTC with credit card? Post by: Oldminer on April 26, 2014, 04:39:08 AM What exchange allows this?

Try eNumbered (http://www.enumbered.com?refid=6486) (they also accept Paypal) Title: Re: Buying BTC with credit card?

Sure, if you are willing to have the escrow hold onto your coins for the six to twelve months until your ability to do a charge back expires. Once you can no longer claw back the money, you'll get your coins. I'll do this right now for you if you want. Title: Re: Buying BTC with credit card? Post by: nzminer on April 26, 2014, 04:46:25 AM I see there are a few places you can purchase BTC in NZ, like https://bitnz.com/
but ive got no idea how legit they are. Title: Re: Buying BTC with credit card? Post by: snarlpill on April 26, 2014, 05:23:28 AM @OP I have used and personally recommend coinbase.com and coin.mx for buying BTC with my debit card.

Title: Re: Buying BTC with credit card? Post by: pandit on April 26, 2014, 07:34:45 AM due to charge back nature exchange always prefer wire transfer over cc or paypal

I need some BTC as im wanting to invest in other altcoins. i bought with credit card on btc-e exchange through payeer gateway, but the commissions are high and you have to verify yourself, but it works. Title: Re: Buying BTC with credit card? Post by: CoinMKT.com on April 28, 2014, 10:01:26 AM Because of chargebacks, this hardly every becomes a great solution.
If an exchange or place allows this... they might have some issues for longevity if someone scams them out of their BTC. Treat Crypto as cash, and should be bought with cash.

I need some BTC as im wanting to invest in other altcoins. You can use https://coin.mx/ (https://coin.mx/) They have very low buy limits as they are at a high risk of fraud. I think there are a few other sites that will sell via credit card but the prices are much higher then the exchanges as they are taking a lot of risk to be scammed.

Obviously they would be a failure if you had to wait 10 mins for the first confirmation, so i expect they trust most people wont be ripping them off. Title: Re: Buying BTC with credit card?

When selling bitcoin, the machine will provide a QR code with an address to send BTC to. It will print out a receipt that you can later scan to redeem your cash once the transactions is confirmed by the network (with "x" confirmations). You would not need to actually stand/wait at the machine while you are waiting for the TX to be confirmed. Title: Re: Buying BTC with credit card?

It's one thing to buy options, but if you are paying for actual delivery of bitcoins, that seems like an awful long time to wait. Just wire some money to an exchange or use Coinbase or something, LOL. That's just me, though..... Title: Re: Buying BTC with credit card?

Post by: ShakyhandsBTCer on June 30, 2014, 11:28:52 PM You can use virwox (https://www.virwox.com?r=57ea7) Doesn't this essentially force you to pay rates that are much higher then what is available on exchanges?I've used up $2000 in my paypal credit card to buy bitcoin with it. You use the credit card to buy linden dollars, then convert it to bitcoin. Then send the bitcoin to wherever. There are daily limits to prevent people from charging back virwox but it gets lifted after 10 days, 30 days, and 60 days. They're safe and legit and fast after they trust you (48 hours after account is verified). https://i.imgur.com/QYD0cpj.png Title: Re: Buying BTC with credit card?
