Title: Good experiences with Canadian Virtual Exchange
Post by: darkskypoet on July 04, 2011, 08:34:45 PM
Hi all;

Just wanted to report good experiences with Canadian Virtual Exchange.

BTC are actually going there for pretty cheap ATM, offers interac transfer in deposits and more, and then interac transfers back out. I was having issues with the "paypal people", and the standard "you send first, no you send first" conundrum, so went over there to sell and trade. So far so good.

Maybe check it out, if your facing higher transaction costs due to trust issues, the "rep discount" issue, or just like being able to post a trade in Canada w/o paying $40 to get a wire transfer from a US bank to actually touch your money from the transaction.

See you there:

Note: No, I am not getting anything for this, their transaction fee is 1% on your trades, and so far its the best one I found in Canada. Seems to be a bit lower price per BTC then Mt. Gox and Trade Hill, even accounting for the Higher Canadian Dollar. Just wanted to point out something good I found.

Lol, agreed. I also don't have to send BTC and "hope" I get an email money transfer back in a few hours.

I made a small trade and requested an email transfer been a couple hours now. Will hopefully get it soon and if all goes well probably start making some larger trades.

Edit: Fixed typos!

I find that email interac xfers usually take a few hours when I send em to friends / family... Never found a consistent wait time tho.. but they have never been 'instant' for me. Although far far faster then web banking payments and such.

Great exchange. EMT are always a shot in the dark when it comes to wait times. It goes through pretty basic approval processes on both ends and depending on how busy each side is, it could take more or less time.

Aside from that, things are very quick, smooth, and the site all around seems pretty solid (read: secure). The only problem right now is that CAD has not had many options to trade for bitcoins up until now so things are just starting to take off. You can see the daily limits crawling a bit higher as time goes on. Hopefully in a bit we will see numbers relative to other larger exchanges.

Yeps, however from a security perspective... Knowing that you can never be 100% safe and secure; always good to limit the damage that can be done.

I had one good selling transaction while still in beta. Tried another just today, I'm confident it will go fine. Fees are reasonable.

More great transactions including a deposit. It works great.
