There are hundreds of people online selling bitcoin for paypal, liberty reserve and WMZ. Simple enough to check their credibility.

No the only other site to accept pingit is bit bargin and like I say they want over £80 each plus I already have the money in my pingit wallet so I cant even do a UKBT,im kinda stuck without a pot to p*** in.

UK banks don't like Bitcoin. So leave the GBP behind -- using Transferwise, or Currencyfair to get EUR. Here's another thread on it: Your best bet is to use www.transferwise.com to convert and move GBP to MTGOX SEPA EUR account, and trade in EUR. I've seen where Mt. Gox only accepts bank transfers if it comes from your own account (and not a commercial account like Transferwise). Are you able to perform this SEPA transfer method from Transferwise to Mt. Gox and they take it? With SEPA transfer to BITSTAMP I've not read about anyone claiming the same restriction. Which exchanges allow me to transfer funds from my TransferWise account? - http://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/8149 |

mtgox in uk? Barclays closed their account. Barclays own Pingit. They don't want no other virtual currency competing with theirs.  |

Forgive me if I am being dumb, but why can't you just wire the money to MTGOX's Japan-Based bank even if their Barclays one was closed?  |

I had the same problem, the only alternative I have seen is buying and selling through this forum, but it requires you to move beyond newbie status first. I am wondering myself why established trading sites have such difficulty accepting UKBT.

So I am not sure why, I have read and understand a fair amount of this but haven't traded as of yet in BTC. Looking into it, scouring forms and such I haven't come across the actual reason that there is no real GBP BTC Exchange, why is this directly, not just Barclays closed the possibility etc. Why? what happened? and why is it that no one has started one up to compete with BitBargains super high prices? Or have they and I am still in the shallow end of this?

It's a joke it really is, I used to use blockchain until the stopped UKBT, I even registered for pingit and now they have stopped that as well.
Even the option above of transferring to Euros and then to USD is complicated. Why do we have to jump through hoops so much? There must be an easier way?

Transferring to GBP to EUR to USD (if necessary) is really not that difficult. SEPA GBP via bank transfer or debit card to transferwise - no charge Transferwise converts to EUR for a much better exchange rate and cost than your bank would. Transferwise sends the EUR to your chosen bitcoin exchange The exchange converts to USD if that is what they deal in e.g. Bitstamp I think I will give Bitcoin Central a go when they are back up but most of the action there is in EUR, I think you will find the GBP order board pretty empty so it may still work out cheaper sending EUR via transferwise - ( http://transferwise.com/u/054b ) |

Am I missing something here ? |
