Hi,

I'm in Australia. It's so hard and costly to have an USD account here.
Some banks provide business USD account, but which criteria is high to me.
CurrencyFair have US bank as intermediary, which will be refused by btc-e.
OzForex refuses to deal business with crypto exchange.

Anyone have a good idea to deposit to btc-e?

Coinjar.io is pretty much the standard go to but there are plenty of sellers on LocalBitcoins - just find one with an acceptable premium to buy from.

Edit: Obviously then you transfer from your LocalBitcoin address balance to BTC or add your wallet in the middle.

CoinJar are a pain in the ass atm :/ So many people waiting for replies from support but they only answer the odd question here and there :/  I'm trying to get my bank account verified so i don't need to keep going into a branch every day for a piddling AUD500! Mind you some people reckon they aren't even getting those verified!

I am willing to give coinjar the benefit of the doubt and say they are just struggling a bit with volume following last weekends crash. It helps I only have play money at stake so I don't really care that much about margin. If my volumes were bigger I would be more pissed about the delays.

My first deposit (just before the crash) went through really quickly as well though that was at the branch. I'm worried about using them again given the number of complains active in the discussion board on their site.

don't do it. btc-e never reply to support tickets. I have a $5800 wire, and they never credited me that amount.
Opened several support tickets, no response whatsoever

 I didn't see your post right in time!
 I firstly tried deposit a part of my money $6000+ , which seems successful, just being on hold.
 So I trusted it and deposited another large part $17000+, this time it looks failed, as it didn't credit into my account as the first part did. Sad

Personally I think the easiest way to get money into an exchange is to buy it locally, then transfer it in as Crypto. The reverse when you want to "cash out".

Fiat seems to be the issue when it comes to getting money into exchanges. Funny that...

Coinjar service has on the whole been excellent.  I was concerned because of Zhu Tongs involvement but after having used them for a dozen transactions they have always confirmed my deposit within an hour other than the Monday following the previous crash (when I desperately wanted onto the market).

At this point I have no reason to think they won't be around for a long time. 

Of course I only keep small amounts with them. I don't really trust anyone in the bitcoin community (but that's what bitcoin is for - not having to trust anyone).
