If you have access to IRC, you can log on to irc.freenode.net and /join #bitcoin-otc.
There are lots of friendly people there willing to help you and many accept moneypak, paypal, cash in the mail (a bit odd, I must admit), etc.
There are lots of ways, according to your needs and you can rest assured you are working with legitimate community members since they have a lovely rating system.
Thank you for this
