Title: Buying with CC
Post by: dna2 on September 23, 2013, 09:32:50 PM
Hi everybody,
are you aware of any services other than Virwox or QuickBTC to buy BTCs with CCs?
Thanks in advance

Whatever you do it is best to avoid VirWox. I've bought there in the past and you get eaten up with fees.
You have to pay fees to deposit, you need to first exchange to SSL (again you pay fees) then to BTC (you pay fees again)
and even when you withdraw your BTC you have to pay yet another fee. Plus the market isn't very liquid en they have
their own bots that set the unfavourable spread. You always lose there. You end up paying 30%+ in fees.
Only use this method if you need the coins instantly and you don't have any alternatives.
Better yet: never use it.

Credit cards are a reversible payment system. You're going to find it nigh on impossible to be able to pay for an irreversible good (Bitcoin) with a reversible form of payment.  :-\

You can fund using Visa vanilla cards, and PayPal in some cases.

If you can find someone to sell you coins for Paypal, you could probably load a moneypak onto a Paypal account with a credit card. I think....

I'd really like to find whoever takes Vanilla Visa on Localbitcoins. As far as I can tell nobody does.

I've got Bitcoins from ebay before and payed via paypal. Although they were sold at about a 20% markup and the transaction took several days to complete.
