Hey guys, so I have an account with Coinbase and I am only able to add my savings account as a payment method. When I select my checking account, the error "This bank account is invalid. Please contact support if this is a mistake." comes up. I've contacted support about this, and they have not responded.

and there is this new service provided by bitcoin.com (CC only) : https://buy.bitcoin.com/ . Fees are definitely high and I don't recommend buying unless It's something urgent Beware, this site only works in select states. I want to prevent you from going on there and getting disappointed like me. |

Everything was going smoothly with buy.bitcoin.com, but it's not available in my state. I'm in Georgia. Should I make up an address or is that a bad idea?
Also, VirWox claimed they had "high risk indications" when I tried buying from them a few days ago.
I can't tell you exactly , I proceed until I saw that the fees are high with Simplex or whatever the name is so I left them but I heard some good reviews , I highly suggest asking before you continue with a fake address. As for virwox , I never had any issues with it so I can't tell either. EDIT: Nevermind, it does require SSN. Any other suggestions? |

There are a few options on the market at the moment but the fees are high sometimes :
Virwox should be available worldwide and they accept most of the payment methods that others dont such as debit cards , paypal , skrill , Ukash , paysafecard and much more. There is also limits on how much you could buy but those are increased by x time from your first PayPal/Skrill deposit.
Buy.bitcoin.com It's a new service that bitcoin.com is offering and its an easy way to buy using your credit card.
Finally , there is blockchain.info who launched the ability to buy BTC directly from their wallet but I 'm not sure where Its available and where Its not the moment , I'm from Africa and I know its not.
Once again , the fees are high compared to other services but If you don't care then those are definitely legit services.

A few months back , I asked about this service , It looks like Its legit indeed but they need some verifications first. As the owner mentioned : "We accept most of the countries for the purchases. The card must be full 3Ds for the purchases. Full KYC verification is passed on the first purchase." See his full answer : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1681890.msg16897541#msg16897541If your card is accepted then yes they should logically convert the balance from USD to EUR without issues. I tried registering for Verified by Visa through my bank yesterday (haven't tried it through Visa yet), and apparently they need the last 4 digits of my SSN. I don't know my SSN, so I asked my mom for it and I told her about Verified by Visa and she's really sketched out by it. Can you confirm that Verified by Visa is legitimate and secure (based on how it works, it really depends on the site you're buying from to determine if their use of the SSN is legit or they're just trying to collect or scam)? I didn't use them honestly , I only asked about them because I saw an ad on blockchain.info and usually BC don't advertise scams and Its available in Bitcoinist , and other press websites so I wouldn't be worried personally. There are more known and legit services that accepts debit cards though , I'm not sure why you wanted to use Bitnovo. It's pretty much the only site that didn't ask for ID verification (I'm under 18, so this restricts me considerably), although maybe they do it after the credit card transaction is accepted. I have another thread in this section, several threads down. Perhaps you can give it a look? |

I have used this site once before, but my payment was declined or just didn't go through. Now that I think about, I believe it's simply because I didn't have enough money in my bank account (I use debit card). Or does the site require 3D-secure cards only?
First off, does anyone else have experience with this service? My main question is, since Bitnovo is EUR-based and not USD-based, will it work smoothly and automatically convert the currency properly if I pay with a USD debit card that is linked to a USD checking account (registered in the US)?

Several months ago, this was easy to find, but nowadays (I suppose due to tighter restrictions on companies?) it's getting more and more difficult, and I'm a bit ticked off about it. Hopefully you can understand  First off, I am aware of services such as LBC, Bitsquare, and Paxful, so please consider these out of the equation at the moment. However, less streamlined exchange services such as btc-e and bitstamp I could be enlightened about. What I'm looking for is a reliable USD-to-BTC service that is instant, works in the United States, and allows customers under the age of 18 to use (either with no personal document/ID verification OR that allows the document of someone under 18). I wish to pay with my debit card, although bank account would work IF it's still instant. Again, exchange services would suffice, so long as the transaction is instant (or within a few hours) and so long as I don't have to verify any IDs or personal documents when depositing USD. I have registered for so many services so far, I feel like I've almost tried everything. Maybe not though...  |

Can you deposit USD on to this and exchange it for BTC and send that to my personal wallet?

Are there any reliable virtual bitcoin debit cards that work for people from the US where I can deposit USD (up to atleast $100) and then withdraw that in the form of BTC to my own wallet, all without ID verification from the comfort of my home?

I have had a recent, but small history of credit card fraud, so that's probably why they flagged mine as a "high risk" indicator. I've e-mailed VirWox about the issue, so hopefully they can get some sense and confirm the payment. Otherwise, do you have any other recommendations? Well then. We do have the Currency Exchange section in the forum. Have you checked it out? https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=53.0Important: 1. Use escrow 2. Beware of impersonators. 3. ALWAYS check everything. ie trade history, reputation, trust feedback, etc. 4. It would be better to trade with trusted/reputable long time users. 5. Again, do your own due diligence. ID verification is not required (which is what you want), but do be careful of scams. There are plenty.
Frankly, I am hesitant to point you there as there plenty of scams, but, just use your common sense and you should be fine. I'd recommend both zazarb : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1092531.0 and shdvb ; https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=583572.0 but I'm not sure if they're currently taking skrill. You could send them a PM. Otherwise, take a look at these list of exchanges : https://www.bestbitcoinexchange.io/ you could check which ones does not require ID verification. If nothing works, then I hope you get cleared at Virwox.  Or someone else can suggest others.  Does Skrill require ID verification? |

So this morning, I woke up to a new email from Skrill saying they refunded my purchase due to "high risk indications". I had deposited USD into my VirWox account, and exchanged that to BTC. Then I withdrew the bitcoin to my own wallet, and they said it could take up to 48 hours for new accounts. Is there a way I can confirm the payment with them or something? Has anyone else had this type of issue with them?
If your Skrill is fully verified and you live in Europe you can buy bitcoins directly with Skrill through Bitpanda. If you are in US you can buy through Coinbase via Paypal. I wonder why people still continue to use VirWox considering their crazy high fees in conversion ? I'm trying to avoid any ID verifications since I'm under 18. I do have documents that could prove my identity, but they'd reveal my actual age. I have found two ways to buy Bitcoin without verification (takes several days to actually get the BTC), but I'm seeking a way to get them instantly, if there is such a service. We do have the Currency Exchange section in the forum. Have you checked it out? https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=53.0

If you have any doubts, then just go ahead with virwox.Yup. On second thought, you should just go ahead with virwox.. They indeed charge very high fees, which if I recall correctly, could go as high as 20% but, they've been working for years now and plenty have used it in the past. There are other cheaper options now but considering your age constraints, I can't really recommend anything else. The 48 hours should be for your first couple of transactions only. Long as there's no issue with your skrill funds, Virwox will confirm. (I personally didn't have any problems with my transactions there in the past.)
