Title: Buying Bitcoins with a international credit card, how?
Post by: ThiagoCMC on January 15, 2012, 06:06:53 AM
Guys,

 How to buy Bitcoins using my international credit card?

 Without put me in risk, of course.

 PayPal protects my card number but, it is reversible, we don't like it, I know, it sucks a lot... Anyway, I'll never cancel a PP transaction.

Thanks!
Thiago

Raw credit card payments can also be reversed, and they're prone to be used with stolen CC data, so they're very risky for the seller. CC wrappers generally have the same disadvantages as PayPal. You'll be hard pressed to find a service which allows you to buy Bitcoins using your CC.

You could try your luck finding in this forum or OTC someone willing to sell you for PayPal or similar. PS the main problem with PayPal isn't that we don't like it, it's that it doesn't like us, it freezes accounts used for Bitcoin exchange.

Also check out this StackExchange question (http://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/2293/how-can-i-buy-bitcoin-via-a-credit-card-or-paypal).

But you may want to take advantage of the recently announced Crypto X Change coupons (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=58804.0;topicseen) before eBay gives them the axe.

I think its even better to deposit money via bank transfer (24-48 hours) into cryptoxchange with fees of only 5$ for AUD market.

well, I consider it should be possible to pay a WU transfer with CreditCard, then have the seller pick that up. But I'm unsure if that is possible everywhere in the world.

You could use ikobo (https://ikobo.com), and use your credit card to fund
an ikobo ATM card which will be sent to your intended recipient.

Some people at bitcoin-otc are willing to sell bitcoins for paypal. If you want to buy regularly and if you don't mind waiting a few months to build trust, you could start there.

You can add funds to Paxum with a CC if your account is verified. Max $300/day, $1000/month, fee is 4.95% + $0.50 (+ exchange if your currency is not USD). Both MtGox and TradeHill supports Paxum. It works, I've done it a few times myself.

Try btc-e Russian exchanger
Select add US funds, choose 'Interkassa' and try your card through LiqPay. If your phone # and card country matches (both in Brazil) then you're good to go.

Or yeah.. Ok Pay

You can't add funds to an OKPAY wallet using a CC unless you have a merchant account, and then the fee is higher than Paxum's.

Hey Thiago,

I sometimes buy stuff at amazon.co.uk and have been known to buy gift cards for it from members of the forum. I am going to do one buy of ~150 gbp, and you can buy a gift voucher from their site and sell it to me for bitcoins.

You will need to be careful though, buying stuff with CC on currencies other than the one the CC is in incurs in extra charges. Let me know if you want to discuss this further.
