BitInstant!! What Happened?

[Yankee (BitInstant)]

still see no mention of instawallet as a transfer choice

Instawallet is just a wallet! You need to put your Bitcoins on one of the exchanges and use that.

I have used Bitinstant before and just tried to figure out how to do what you're asking. I can't see a bitcoin payment option in their "Pay From" drop down. I guess they do not offer it.

I'd try https://www.fastcash4bitcoins.com/ if I were you. They are a reputable company, active on the forums and their interface is very intuitive. I have not used them myself, though.

Why doesnt bitinstant offer wallet to paypal transfers?

What does an exchange do for this type of transaction other then cause another hurdle and more fees?

Cant you just scrape the exchange rate and transfer from wallet to another account?

Legal reasons.

They are reputable, their CEO and myself spoke earlier today in fact.

Can you expand on the "Legal reasons"

I thought the whole point of Bitcoin was to avoid all the "legal red tape"

If there are legal restrictions constantly being placed on the currency whats going to be its point? It will just be another legally scrutinized and taxed with fees currency no?

BitInstant rocks. Bought my first bitcoins the other day, and was very pleased at how quick and easy it was. Can't wait to hear more about the online banking transfer option!

I just went to bitinstant.com and i don't see a Paypal option any longer.

Was paypal support removed?

Thanks

I'm having some serious problems too.

My order hasn't been filled and I haven't heard anything back from my ticket I submitted.

I used to really like bitinstant, but I'm starting to change my mind.

I've also got a horrible feeling that they're going to pick the highest price they can to sell me my bitcoins. I ordered at ~$140, not $200.

Bitinstant support, this is your chance to make things right and not sell me overpriced coins.

Your move

Which option do you choose from the "pay from" drop down menu?

To a new user how to go from bitcoins on an instawallet to paypal using bitinstant is not clear at all.  Is there a tutorial anywhere on how exactly to do it?

Sure

Hello Yankee,

I have bought 1 BTC back in Jun. Today I try to login to my account but your website is currently down. I have Google this issue and look like your website is shutdown.

How can I get my balance?

What is the phone number for customer service?
Who else in this forums from BitInstant so I can PM them for help?

Thank you
