Buying coins with card/paypal etc?

[KarmaUK]

Hi,

Are there any safe places I can buy coins using card/paypal?

Thanks

PM card details and I will throw you some coins at todays rate.

People get scammed by charge backs so it's very hard to find a seller that way but you could try eBay.

So the best way is with direct bank transfer?

i use coinbase, but you can only buy so many at a time.. but thats fine for me because i cant buy but so many at $94/each

ive had no problems with coinbase. it takes a few days for my coins to show up in my account, but when they do, i just xfer them to my offline wallet... although i doubt i have enough coins for anyone to hack my account and clear out.

Coinbase is great up until they reach their daily max limits.  =T

I was frustrated by that because i kept trying to buy 10 at once and they never had 10 at the same time.. i did that all day until i had the bright idea to  buy in smaller amounts.  I was able to buy my 10 over the course of about 10-15 minutes by buying 1 or 2 at a time.. just hope my bank doesn't freeze my account because it looks so suspicious.

edit:  coinbase's daily max limit is a rolling limit, not a specific point in time where the limit is cleared.  the 6am time they give in the notice is just a suggestion where more are most likely to be available, but you can get them any time if you only get 1 or 2

Try Btcquick?  I haven't used them but they seem to be going gangbusters.

Being a 'newbie' can someone confirm why/how you are hitting your 'limit'.

Are you buying coins with cash or mining? So confused by it all   

[Aozora21]

coinbase's limit is one that they personally set for whatever reason.. lack of the ability to quickly get coins may be one of them.. but i dont know for sure.

[KarmaUK]

What I meant was, say the limit is 10, are people buying these coins with their own cash? 10x$90=$900 which is quite a lot of money if they're doing it multiple times daily!?

Or are these people loaded?

[Aozora21]

i dunno how long its been around, but consider if people wanted to buy more than 10 when they were worth $5.     it would be annoying, but now thats the price is as high as it is.. i dont think the 10 personal limit matters much, whats annoying is bitcoins global limit of BTC that can be bought, the ARE working on upping that limit last i heard on their twitter page.  but even the 10 personal limit isnt really a daily limit.. i bought 10 of them at like 8pm, buy 2am i was able to buy another 6.. but yeah.. i had already given them $900 so i passed
