I've never had a problem with campbx before and I use them all the time. It usually takes a little while from when I see the amount debited from my bank until it shows up in my campbx account. Try contacting them directly if you have questions, they are usually very helpful.

For the past few days we have been seeing prices dip down to ~$60usd and back up to ~$90 in the same day. If you keep an eye on it, you can take advantage of that pretty easily.

I dabble with day trading, so all my funds are sitting in USD right now. I'll buy back into BTC when the price dips again.

I user Dwolla > campbx. The funds take a few days to transfer, but then they sit in your campbx account until you want to buy coins. It makes it hard to take advantage of any short term price dips, but once the money is in you can sit on it for a while and hope for favorable buying conditions.

I understand the challenges, but the ease of "buying into" bitcoins is prohibitive for this becoming mainstream. The average person would find most of the ways you buy bitcoins too complicated or very shady. I personally use dwolla -> campbx, but that takes a few days for the transfer to go through, so it's frustrating if you wanted to buy coins right away.

Once someone can come up with a safe, reliable way to sell coins to an average consumer, then we will really start to take off.

Thanks for the info, I'm trying to get started with all of this, so it helps!
