Made an account at Mtgox, having trouble figuring out the best way to sell my Bitcoins for CDN dollars without getting completely ripped by fees.

You sometimes can even get better than spot price, paid in cash.

Anyone else?  How can I pull CDN $$ out of Mtgox without being nickel and dimed to death with fees?

the only way that is free is with local transactions

It is pitch black. You are likely to be eaten by a grue.

I don't mind paying a fee...I just don't want to pay INSANE fees.

Why not use a Canadian exchange? Much easier and you can sell directly for CAD.

https://www.libertybit.com/  - I think the lowest fees, 0.5% is lower than mtgox.
https://www.cavirtex.com/home  - has a 3% fee.
https://btcto.com/  - don't know if they're operational yet.

Are they reliable? cavirtex has a $6 fee.  Not bad for larger sums...it'll eat away at smaller amounts.

Libertybit looks interesting though.  $2 for an EMT is pretty sweet.  Keep the transations at $500 and up and you'll only pay 0.4%.

I've had good experience with libertybit, both buying and selling. Have done interac in and out. It's a small exchange but Paul is really good about communication and customer service.

Never heard of it but the first alarm bell that rings is that it asks for your PayPal email before even explaining what the website does.

Personally wouldn't touch it with a bargepole - they state they don't accept PP for BTC for the very same reasons you shouldn't either: chargebacks.

Transfer to OKPay for 1% fee at MTGox, then withdraw to OKPay debit card for about 2.5%, use ATM.

Ran through the Libertybit process and it was flawless.  So easy.  $2 for an EMT right to my bank account, no other hidden fees.  I'll use Mtgox for trading and Libertybit for cashing out.

Thanks all!

Glad you got it worked out - incase anyone else was wondering for USD the best way is through dwolla.

I agree....that 25-cent fee is unbeatable.  US = Dwolla, Canad = Libertybit.

Its not real $$ everywhere.  And as a smart investor, I don't hedge my bets into 100% of one place.  No thanks.
