Wheres the best place to buy btc from a credit card

VirWoX.  There you first buy Second Life Lindens (SLLs) and pay with credit card.  Then convert the SLLs to BTCs, and withdraw BTCs.

You can use credit card through LiqPay for deposit to Bitcoin-24.com

Sometimes BTCQuick.net has stock: (small order sizes only)

That's for cashing out bitcoins only, not to buy bitcoins.   Their fee is nearly 10% for the lower denominations, and not much less for the higher.  Other than that, worked great!

I use virwox regularly, though keep in mind they have a chain of fees..

depending on how you get your money in to virwox.. either you are charged a fee converting from USD to SLL through them.. or through secondlife's conversion...
then there is a fee for converting SLL to BTC... and then a Fee for withdrawing.

Its not that bad though.. and the more you use them, the lower the fee gets.

I recommend BTCQuick if they're in-stock. I've bought from them a couple of times without a problem.

how long does btcquick take to verify new member ship, and get the first btc to my address?  Can it be done in one day?

Also how difficult is virwox? Sounds very complicated after reading thru their site.

Well as for virwox, remember its meant to be an exchange for secondlife and other virtual world currencies.
The fact that it takes Bitcoin is incidental.
Though using virwox isn't particularly complicated.. deposit money through one method or another, convert to secondlife linden (or if you already deposited as SLL) then buy BTC at the price you want with a limit order, or the current price.
