Safe exchange to fund with USD or EURO?

[minutetaker]

About to try push some solid trade volume, and Im not sure who to send fiat to.  Every exchange seems to have someone that's been ripped off by them.  I want a safe, reliable place I can send largish amounts of fiat and feel confident that the money is gonna show up in my account.  I was initially thinking btc-e but I've read they are having issues with USD transfers at the moment - how about Euros though - anyone had problems?  I don't wanna deal with Mt Gox btw.

So if you swear by an exchange, tell me how great they are.  If you've been fucked over, tell me about it.  Hopefully this thread can stop others from getting ripped off too

Cheers

What do you think this is? A $10-billion market?

Now seriously: Bitstamp have been quite satisfying personally: deposits are credited within 3 days, sometimes in the same day, and withdrawals work flawlessly too. From my understanding they have in general the best record.
