First you're in the US, then you're in India and you don't want to make the transfer to Gox because it costs $10? You just started using bitcoin but you already have someone you need to pay in Bitcoin? Either I'm missing something or something is not right with this picture. I am from/live in USA. As I said, I am now traveling in India. You just started using bitcoin but you already have someone you need to pay in Bitcoin?
Yes I want to pay for something with bitcoin. And yes I am new to using bitcoin. I do not think that that is so difficult to understand.

I'm not saying your up to no good, it just doesn't make any sense and it still doesn't. You can afford to travel from the US to India and $10 is a big deal? And all this over $50! Every option available to you has been provided in this thread. Good luck my friend!

Why do you say Mt.Gox charges $10? I wish they had a flat trade fee for larger orders, but they actually charge a flat % of the total value of the order.

That is what they state on their website. They say to do a wire transfer their bank charges 1000 yen. thats about $10. Also on top of that there is a 3.99% charge.

I see, I thought you were talking about the trade fees. If you use Dwolla, it is close to free to transfer the money, then you just pay trade fees. However, I'm not sure if Dwolla accepts yen.

I am in India, but the point is I need to do some type of bank transfer or something online so in that case it seems irrelevant where I am at because I need to do everything online.

If wire transfers were free that would be one reason less for Bitcoins to exist. LOL

I think localbitcoins.com will be enough good, you can even meet the person and do the transaction face to face, just like any second hand trade

If you personally have an issue, let me know. I actually used BitInstant here in the states recently and had zero problems. Aside from the fees, I was quite satisfied and Bitcoins arrived in my wallet in mere minutes. (Meaning less than 5)

Dwolla to CampBX
To elaborate, I think I was able to fund my CampBx acct immediately with Dwolla. Then you can buy whatever you want. You can't xfer out BTC in the first 30 days though so that is a drawback.

If you personally have an issue, let me know. I agree. Most companies will just sweep their dirt under the rug and pretend that it doesn't exist. I've used BitInstant many times over the past year and will continue to do so in the future. I've found their service to be very convenient and reliable.

Any one can tell me the fastest and cheapest way to buy bitcoin immediately? It seems that Mt.Gox charges $10 to buy bitcoin from them. I am in the USA and so need to do a bank transfer from my bank to theirs but their bank charges a 1,000 Yen receiving fee (about $10 USD). I already signed up with Dwolla too, and started the transfer of funds to my Dwolla account, but the funds will not be there till the 14th of this month at the earliest. and I need to pay a bill with bitcoin before that. Some time ago I signed up with coinbase and got verified and tried to just buy half a Bitcoin with them but they canceled my transaction. saying: "Unfortunately, we have decided to cancel this order because it appears to be high risk. We do not send out any bitcoins on high risk transactions, and your bank account will not be charged." I am new to Bitcoin and just started to use it and now I am in a bind because I need some bitcoin ASAP! Anyone have any tips of how to get some Bitcoin by this Monday the 13th? Thanks! Virwox is fast and takes paypal (no need for international money transfer), but is not cheap. Note that you need to first buy Linden Dollars then convert to BTC; it works fine though.

Everyone here's complaining about 4% fees. I'm starting to think the ~8% fees from BitInnovate.com aren't all that great
