I am thinking about selling bitcoins through my personal bank account and have people across the country deposit money into my account. I see it on localbitcoin site, is there any legal issues I would run into or have the bank freeze my account?
I did one batch through Bitcoin-Brokers (thread in 'services' sub-forum) and it went fine. I've talked to my personal banker (Wells Fargo) at some length about Bitcoin and specifically about random people depositing money into my account, and she said it was fine and fairly common for rent and what-not. In fact, I have a rental where the property management company does just this.
My banker did suggest that I set up a different checking account for incoming funds so that I don't have to give out the number for my primary checking. I've done this now, but have not done any sales on it thus far. My primary account is a 'PMA' so I can set up another account with no fees or minimum balance.
Good luck to you. Since Mt. Gox does not seem to be sending the international wire I requested almost a month and a half ago, I may go ahead and sell another batch through Bitcoin-Brokers unless I can find someone who wants to buy about $5000 worth in person in one batch which is unlikely. At least I got no bites last time I tried to deal in such volumes.
