Bitcoin Forum

I'm looking to buy bitcoin (3btc)... Localbitcoins hasn't been any help.. nor has Coinbase. Can anyone point me in a direction?

Thanks  :)

Why specifically could you not find a seller on localbitcoins?  There are dozens and dozens of sellers that take everything from WU to PayPal to cash in person.  I can understand if there is nobody near you to do a face-to-face cash transaction but there are many that will take cash directly into their bank account, cash in the mail, etc. etc.

What exactly are you looking for?

I'm probably searching wrong on localbitcoins. What I have seen on there is a lot of price gouging. Face to face transactions is out of the question, no one near me. I can do paypal... I will search again on localbitcoins

I run Bitcoin-Brokers which has a review thread with over 50,000 views, and hundreds of comments, found here:

I can arrange a simple cash deposit at a Bank of America for you tomorrow if you wish. Bitcoin will be in your wallet the same day. No sign ups, no ID collected.

Feel free to open a ticket through the help desk at www.Bitcoin-Brokers.org and I will be happy to explain everything there for you.

I get the impression he is not in the US.

I also thought that www.Bitcoin-Brokers.org only operated in the US?  Am I misinformed?

I was going to suggest www.Bitcoin-Brokers.org but then did not due to him not being in the US.

Since there is so much fraud when people buy using PayPal you will be charged a LOT if you use PayPal.  So, I suggest you use something other than PayPal.

What country are you in?

Currently I am traveling, in the Domincan Republic. Unfortunately there is no BoA here. One bank I have seen here that is in the states, if thats where you are, is Banco Popular...
Any other options?

What about this guy?

If you can't get a Moneygram and need to use WU.



I have had people drive that far to buy BTC from me.

I'm from cali, Im use to driving far n long but driving thru this country is a B**CH... hahaha
Thanks for the help, How do I search for these people on the site? they don't appear in my searches

I went to "buy bitcoins"

Then in the box for location I put "dominican republic"

Then I copy/pasted the results here.

Not sure why you would not get the same results as me.

Oh, I was logged into my account.  Don't know if it makes a difference if you are logged in or not.

ah ok, I logged in. Now I see Some of the ones on your list.

what you country? . buy btc payment via?

I completely misunderstood. I thought you were selling. Ok.

@ BurtW - OP might not see all searches that you see because a lot of sellers post ads that don't allow newbies to purchase. Personally, all my sell ads on LBC are set this way too because they are a major headache to deal with. They either don't know how LBC works or can't follow directions, and somehow always mark "paid" without sending payment and locking up btc in escrow for days.

Totally understandable for remote sales.  I only do face-to-face cash so I don't really care if they are noobs.  In fact I have taken it on as one of my "duties" to properly introduce noobs to Bitcoin and make their first transaction a good, smooth, scam free educational experience.
