Hi,

I'm buying 0.5 BTC with SEPA at www.multisigna.com (username netsuke) at market price.

If you can make a SEPA transfer then why not use www.coinbase.com to buy BTC? No need to use escrow or anything and you can buy as much as you want and whenever you want once the funds are added to your EUR wallet on coinbase.

Does it require KYC, etc? SEPA transfers are done between users or to a Coinbase account?

Thanks!

Yes, you would need to send them your id. Same would have been the requirement of your bank when you would have opened the a/c via which you'll make SEPA transfer. You would send money directly to coinbase account.

Thanks for the info, I'll check it out.
For now I'll use multisigna or localbitcoins.

Made some research on Coinbase, this doesn't look good: https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/419gtr/coinbase_has_closed_my_account_without_allowing/

You're saying, you just heard about Coinbase?

No, I tried to register a long time ago, but couldn't since at the moment they didn't allow users from Spain, so I forgot all about them. Just Googled them to read some opinions.

Your wish. You need to trust some one to send money and buy bitcoins.
Its up to you who do you want to trust. A registered company or some one else.

I see, but well, such cases(although rarely) happen with exchanges one time or the other. If you still don't feel secure bout giving your KYC and potentially being blocked, try one of the trusted members here(an external link won't do) for the exchange.
I'd recommend ghilby for such significant transactions, but from what I've heard he has bigger fees.

Thanks, i'll ask him what are his fees.
