Hi guys,

Long time speculator here, first time posting!

I purchased bitcoin on localbitcoins.com and after seeing a downtrend recently I decided to quickly sell my coins on btc-e and get into fiat. Now I have USD sitting in btc-e that I would like to withdraw to a GBP UK bank account in the cheapest, fastest and most reliable way. Does anyone have experience doing this? MT.GOX withdrawal seems out of the question after recent press.....I would like to know:


Can I withdraw directly from btc-e to UK bank account? if so what are the costs?

Would I be better off buying BTC with USD on btc-e and then sending BTC to localbitcoins.com to sell for GBP there? (this seems risky with current market fluctuation as selling on Localbitcoins.com can take hours!)

Would I be better off buying BTC with USD on btc-e and sending to another exchange...eg Bitstamp? I have just setup and account but my verification is pending (how long does this currently take?)

Buying BTC with USD and sending to another exchange? any suggestions?


Also whats currently the best exchange for buying BTC in UK at the moment (depositing GBP fiat funds)

Many thanks! Much appreciation!
