since I previously said that I would post once my Jan 2nd SEPA withdrawal was processed, here's my update:

my withdrawal still wasn't processed this week, so I cancelled it, bought coins and cashed out through bitstamp. unfortunately not at the time where gox price was at 50% of the bitstamp price, but still with a good 30% markup.

if course, I still have to be able to get my btc out of gox but I still have faith in that happening, and the price differential was just too good to pass up on (and would have even much better had I waited another half day, but that's moot )

re SEPA withdrawals: my withdrawal from Jan 2nd is still confirmed, I guess there must have been a lot of withdrawals on Dec 31/Jan 01 -- or the withdrawals are slowing down... don't know. will definitely post once the status changes still hoping for this week.

my guess is SEPA queue must be somewhere end of December now, my withdrawal from Jan 2nd is still in confirmed status. will post again when it is pending/processed (hopefully next week).

verification worked just fine with the usual documents (utility bill and government id)

non-chinese account here (their english website is actually pretty good), and I can also see the bank deposit option again -- can't use it without chinese bank account, of course, but it is there again.

correct.

it's all interlinked via the largest orderbook (USD). when you put in an order for 700 EUR, it will show up in the USD order book as 700*EURUSD*1.025

for any non USD trade you probably pay the 2.5 % cross currency trading fee, unless you just happen to match an order from the current currency.

the mtgox faq entry explains the basics, the details are in the forums here (somewhat buried probably, as this has often been discussed in the past)

incorrect. the other party could be using USD, EUR or any other currency supported on gox. all order books are interlinked (with the 2.5% premium applied internally).

gox has supported multi currency trading since 2011, and it has been in the FAQ all the time:

https://support.mtgox.com/entries/20800336-Multi-Currency-Trading

it works automatically for any non USD trades, though it involves a 2.5% premium (to cover their conversion fees probably).

thanks for figuring this out!

the thing is, i haven't changed anything in my browser or OS setup in the last few days... and suddenly it stopped working in FF26. browser was not upgraded in the last days, so I can't believe nothing changed in the forum that broke it..?

same problem here in Firefox -- the new # anchors stopped working one or two days ago for me.

11000 according to the post linked in the op...

$1160 to $1220 in one buy was impressive to watch!

it started going down on gox at the time the 0% fee got active...

yes, this works when you don't have the funds in a withdrawal request already. By the time you get the withdrawal cancelled the opportunity will most likely have vanished again

received in my bank today. 6 weeks is still a long time, and with the higher prices, and higher Euro amounts, new withdrawals might take even longer now? they really need to get this sorted out...

My SEPA withdrawal from 2013/10/12  went "Pending" today, will report once the money is in my bank (should be tomorrow or Friday).

thanks for the data point.... gives me a rough estimate for when my 2013-10-10 withdrawal will probably be processed.

yes, money arrived in my bank today 8/31 -> 10/2... I liked it better when it was within a week!
