Where to buy bitcoins NOW

[ankurpatel360]

I am in the USA and i want to buy some bitcoins right now. I cant use coinbase because they are down. I dont want to use mt gox or bitstamp because they require proof of residency and stuff. Is there a website like coinbase that i can link my paypal or bank account too?

LocalBitcoins is the place to go, OTC trades, bank transfer possible, trust-rating and escrow system in place, no dox normally required.
