Buying Bitcoin Online with a Credit Card

[Anonymous]

If bank transfers don't allow chargebacks, what holds people (like MtGox and other exchange sites) from using it?

Expensive and high risk. International wire transfers requires:
- sender to pay bank fee;
- merchant have to wait some days until payment is cleared (read no immediate goods delivery);
- merchant must to be sure this payment is not compromised or bank will report him to proper authorities/watch list.

Merchant that do not have stringent verification process will fall in troubles if they start accepting wires from everyone on Internet.

Are bank transfers quicker/cheaper/easier if they are within the same country?

For example, if MTGox had a trusted contact in several different countries through whom users could flow bank transfers would that be a satisfactory solution?

That would be a better way of doing it. Place a buffer of different exchangers in between mt gox just like liberty reserve does.

It is truly amazing how far Bitcoin and other CryptoCurrencies  have come since this thread was first created.

There are literally thousands of BTC ATM's now xD

Probably against all of the credit card companies' terms of service; they don't like you taking money before "shipping the product."

I agree with your opinion, credit companies want you to ship products before getting money

In all these, convenience is what is needed for people to feel at ease whenever and wherever they want to make a purchase of bitcoin with their credit card. I believe credit cards can easily be incorporated in the online transactions involving bitcoin.
