help with exchanges

[bitcoin44me]

Yes, I read the OP, and not all responses, but some of them.

What does not make sense to me:
1) Why do someone in a foreign country owe you more than 1k usd in the first place if you do not have any idea whatsoever how to get paid?
2) Why don't you have a bank account?
3) If the client is not willing to use btc, how could you possibly think that he will be willing to send money to a shady btc exchange?

Therefore, I conclude that the problem was unsolved because it was wrongly explained in the first place.
Instead of trying to find something that does not exist, ask the guy to send you directly btc, no matter what he wants to.

And yet, we see the following:

- snip -
I asked itbit if they accept transfers from third paries and they said "yes, but we discourage the practice".
- snip -

Does not make what I said, wrong.

>Is he refusing to pay in whole, or just in BTC?

Just in btc because...btc is too complicated.

So I wanted to give him a bank account (the exchange's) to wire moeny to and be done with it.

Just tell him to sign up on coinbase and buy some BTC. It would only take a few days, its not illegal and its 100% safe (since he is in America). I dont see why he wont do it.

I wouldnt say 100% safe, hackers can access accounts easily nowadays....

If someone asks you to buy a car for 10 usd, you should not try to find one, or that you know a friend who might sell a car for that price, you should tell him to put more money in it.

Hi there,

scenario  :

I have a client in the US who owes me $1500. I'm not in the US and I can't receive money through WU and similar services without losing a good chunk of it, which I obviously don't want to. And, my client isn't willing to use bitcoins.

What I want to do then is open an account in an exchange, and have my client wire money to that exchange (I think he can manage that...). I'll use that money to buy coins...

I opened an account with bitstamp just to learn that I CAN'T do that. They will only accept money coming me, not from third parties.

So, I need an exchange which does accept transfers from third parties. Do you know any?

He can give the money to someone you trust in the us, someone that uses bitcoin who will then send you 1500$ worth of bitcoins

He owes you money so shouldn't he pay for the fees if he sends it to you via WU?

He deposit with his credit card on your poker.stars account if you have one (probably against pokerst.ars rules)

I consider your posts in this thread either spam or trolling.

How is this any of your business?  If the OP was willing to share this information, he would have.

2) Why don't you have a bank account?

Because the client has already indicated that he's willing to wire money?

I think dannyhamilton is very trusted guy here. Try asking him to accept the money and send you the bitcoins.

I don't accept wire transfers.

Unless his client is in the Chicago area, I won't be able to help him.
