Big Announcement! Major Fee Cuts
Due to popular demand, we have changed our website currency to deal in USD only. As a result, we have also switched the exchange which we use to provide Bitcoin services.

What does this mean for you?
Primarily, it means lower fees. If you have USD in your Paypal account, you will benefit greatly from this.

What are the fee changes?
Here are all of the places where the fees have changed:

Paypal Currency Conversion
As I am typing this, Paypal offers a USD to NZD rate of 1 USD to 1.41522 NZD. According to google, the real market rate is 1.47590584. Since you don't need to do this conversion any more, you will save 4.2% in currency conversion fees!


Paypal Processing Fees
While I was operating in NZD, Paypal charged me 3.9% + 0.45 NZD. Now that I have switched to USD, Paypal is charging me 3.4% + 0.3 USD. I'm passing all of these savings on to you, meaning you save another 0.5%.


Market Spread
Independent Reserve had very large spreads (difference in Buy Price and Sell Price). Right now their prices are 671 NZD (sell) and 684.99 (buy). This is a spread of 2%! Meaning if you purchased at this exchange, then sold for USD at MTV, you would lose 2% instantly. BitFinex (the new exchange) has rates of 457.38 (USD) Buy 457.28 (USD) Sell, a spread of just 0.02%. If you are depositing into MTV, you could be paying up to 1.9% less! Otherwise this should easily save you another 0.8%


Exchange Fees
Our new exchange only charges us 0.2% per transaction, instead of 0.5% which Independent Reserve charged us. This allows us to lower some of our fees. We have lowered our sell fee to just 0.05%, saving you another 0.35%.


Maximum Total Savings: 6.6% in Fees
Total Discount (relative to previous fees): up to 41%



What else has changed?
We have converted all of our affiliate balances into USD. We have used the current market rate to convert the currencies, and then we have given you an extra 15% to compensate for this conversion.


These are all estimations, but they should be pretty close to reality. I would love to hear the results of our new exchange process.
Buy and Sell Bitcoins via Paypal



Good day to you.

I just sent you my bitcoin balance to be converted into FIAT currency to PayPal

I sent it to this address:
1LeATAGLrVbAcNuKERJ8vyeKyEZH3RX58f

Here is the BlockChain Info:
https://blockchain.info/address/1LeATAGLrVbAcNuKERJ8vyeKyEZH3RX58f

I sincerely hope that I get the money in my PayPal account ...
because the BitCoin community is seriously getting tired of scam artists
messing up a good thing.

UPDATE:

There has now been over 16 Confirmations of this Transaction:
https://blockchain.info/tx-index/15013d643bc871862030a4dc0397a8a1f098fd1af6d91bea1c50b14e0e7012f1

What's going on?

Should there not be a payout to my PayPal account by now?


Hey man! Sorry, we don't check here for support reasons.

Unfortauntely, Paypal did suspend our account and we made every effort to contact customers and refund them. Can I ask if you have received a refund?
If you haven't we will do everything we can to rectify this situtation!

Why is the currency set to NZD? How can i change it to USD instead?

Paypal will automatically convert all currencies to NZD when you purchase. Unfortunately, we don't offer USD native transactions yet.


Apologies for the lack of funds over the past few days! Sad

We have replenished the account with $4000 NZD. We have also waived the 3-day waiting period between transactions, so you can purchase again regardless of when you last purchased Smiley

We have also lowered our selling fee from 0.9% to just 0.2%
The holding period is this long due to what? The charge backs can occur from date of purchase to 180 days onwards. This does not cover you in anyway possible.

Thanks for your interest in this specific aspect of our company policy. Just to clear up some ambiguity, we process orders instantly, you just can't purchase again until 3 days have past.

We have put this in place from some of our own research which did provide some evidence that this is effective in reducing the rate of fraud.

Can I ask, do you do cards for Companies?
I'm under 18 so I can't get a personal card right now

Thanks for all of your comments  Smiley

Regarding the fraud checks, yes blocking non-verified people is one of the things we do. We do make use of other services, such as MaxMind, SiftScience, FraudRecord, our own systems, and some others.

Unfortunately, I cannot go further in depth.

Thanks for pointing that out! Yes, I did mean 20% of our profits on each order. I've edited the post to reflect that  Smiley

You can buy BTC through my site: https://xbtc.co/ using Paypal.
BTC sent within 15 mins usually.

However, since it is via Paypal, fees are higher than usual (5% + Paypal fees).
