Okay... so I'm a semi-satisfied customer of Virwox for 118 days now.

I won't complain of the fact that my account level is still only at a level 2 because I switched payment methods... or how I have to email support for them to grant my withdrawal request sooner than the 48 hours for new accounts -

Something strange just happened and I don't know what to expect.... after purchasing SLL and converting to BTC, I got the 48 hour wait message again. As usual, I email support. I hit refresh, and I get this error message (red text), telling me that the market changed and it wasn't in my favor. Okay, price of BTC went up 1 USD from the time I placed my order and clicking submit; hooptee do. Anyways, I'm checking my transaction history and it says Assigned Error 500. No biggie except that there's no BTC in account!

Has this ever happened to any of you?

Hi,


Do not use VirWox! I was there for a time too and after a few weeks they closed my account because of "money laundring" -have done transactions with one amount over 1 BTC (that time ca. 500 USD)- and they call it money laundring  Huh

And the fees of them are for most of the payment options very high: Up to 35% for some payment methods there (You have to transfer to SLL first).

I can only say you that it would be better for you and your BTC to withdraw the amount you have on you account (maybe via PP or Wire transfer), if you do not want to have the same trouble as I had.


You can use for example www.bitstamp.net or our business www.BTC-Exchange.info (good reviews on bitcointalk) for buying BTC cheap, anonymous and secure. We offer the following payment methods: PaySafeCard, Ukash, International bank transfer (only 3% fees) and Cash by Mail.

If there are any questions, feel free to contact me or our 24/7 costumer support with 6 operators who will answer within minutes after receiving an order or a support request.


Cheers

Depends on your preferred methods of paying.

VirWoX is the only exchange that accepted PayPal and credit cards now for _years_. You pay a premium for that of course.

https://www.coinlend.org <-- automated lending at various exchanges.
https://www.bitfinex.com <-- Trade BTC for other currencies and vice versa.

I've used Virwox to move SLL -> BTC before, then they stopped accepting SLL deposits so I've used them a few times to go Paypal -> SLL -> BTC. I've never had any issues and they've always responded to my support requests.

I wouldn't use them anymore though, the fees are just ridiculous. I wish we could still deposit SLL. I'm just using CoinBase now and things are a lot easier.

Yes, the fees are terrible; but compared to LBC... it's a deal! I stopped using Coinbase, so when BTCquick doesn't have any (like now), what other choice do I have Sad

Same here. Makes me sad that I can´t exchange my SLL currency into bitcoins anymore. Sad

Hi,


Well, if you use our business www.BTC-Exchange.info (trusted on bitcointalk), there is no waiting time over 1-2 hours to get the BTC. We've got 6 worldwide operating employees to exchange as quick as possible and for a great and helpful costumer support. If you decide to exchange with us, you do not need to verify in any way. Our service is 100% secure and anonymous, we only need your BTC adress for payout and an email (trashmail is OK too) to send you the status of your order.


Cheers

Some strange things happening lately...

My account level went from a Level 3, to 2, then back to Level 1 - now 2 again. Now they've lowered the daily deposit limit for the account levels! WTF? I've always held that Virwox was a better deal to buy with Paypal but it's getting to the point where this method isn't even worth it anymore.

Booo! I'm not promoting this anymore.

I've been buying through Virwox since July with no trouble, and I made a USD withdrawal today, which was processed immediately.
