Is it no one does this kind of trade or they don't trust he person with the pot leaf on their avatar?
No, it's that it's not worth it.
BTC are generally cheaper on BTC-e, so you would have to give some sort of discount to make it worthwhile.
The whole "you first" thing probably doesn't help either.
well peepee, I've had a rig sold on here for $1,000, a $200 loan paid back on time, and multiple transactions on dwolla->gox thread
I don't expect people that would trade with me to have the activity and history of me. I know gox codes worked but have never used btc-e code, I'd rather get the code make sure it works before I give gox which I and many others know works instantly
EDIT: and that doesn't seem to make sense except that it's harder to get direct USD into btc-e
Withdrawing via code has no fee, but withdrawing BTC has a fee.
