Most trustworthy exchange site?

[Sancho]

 Every site seems to have 5-10 nightmare stories accompanying it.

Which do you think is the safest, best site to use as an American?

I think I like BTC-E and Cryptsy (for all the currency it deals in) but I'm afraid to trust them.

Thanks!

If you are just looking to purchase Bitcoin, I'd probably go with Coinbase.  They are based out of SF and are very transparent about their operations.
They do charge a fee for transactions, but if security is what you want, I'd probably go with them.

Otherwise mtgox and btc-e seem like relatively reputable sites.

I'm looking to exchange altcoin into BTC.

You realize that once you get your fiat into mtgox it's incredibly difficult to get it out, right? Basically you can buy bitcoin on mtgox easily, but selling is a pain in the ass.

That's what I thought... and why I didn't mention it as one I was taking a look at.

Is there no site that isn't a pain in the ass?

BTC-E is trustworthy enough, its up and running since 2011, and has good volume (was like 100+ millions $ on LTC/USD pair at peak). There are users, which can instantly put 50-80k LTC walls,
guess how much money they have on accounts there I've personally hold like ~500 LTC for a month on account there, and its all ok.

I've been using Cryptsy for ages now and have never had an issue that has not been quickly resolved 

[Sancho]

Great, thanks for the input.

What about withdrawing money from BTC-e? It seems like it's impossible to even deposit USD from America. Will I ever be able to withdraw it?

[NitroKoS]

Cryptsy for sure!

Cryptsy is good. It's buggy, but their team is reliable.

What country are you in? Bittylicious is incredibly swift but I think it's UK banks only.

I have been using btc-e and cryptsy for a long time now.
I have had no problems whatsoever.
Btc is a bit shady in that the team remains fairly annonymous. de site works great though. even when it is crowded.
With cryptsy you have a somewhat lagging site, but you know who owns it.

Bittylicious seem easy to buy bitcoins, but selling them again seems much harder. I can't see any instructions for selling them again, short of becoming a formal "seller"?

I've had endless problems with Cryptsy. They are well documented on this forum. Just type "Cryptsy" and "scam" in Google and you'll have plenty of reading.

Sites I've dealt on with satisfaction: btc-e, mtgox, coinedup, coins-e, coinex.
