I shall be wanting to buy ~$100 worth of BTC in the next few days or so.

I will be able to pay by UK Bank Transfer (from Barclays w/ Faster Payments Service). I would be willing to use Escrow, if someone explained it to me first (seriously, I just cannot get my head around it!).

I'm posting this now so I can get some offers before I get the money, so I can give it time to ____. (I forgot the word I'm looking for).

Thanks,
Liam

If you can make a transfer to BoA, I'll do this.

If you can make a transfer to BoA, I'll do this.

My bank charges a lot for international transfers... £25 to be precise.

If it were to be that, you would have to pay all the charges. I doubt you'll agree that that...?

If you can buy $200 worth of BTC @ Bitstamp +3%, I'll go for this.

Not really worth it for me to cover a fee worth 25% of the total sale.

Actually, the fee is in GBP. It would be more like $40 or so... So yeah, I'll have to see.

Currently yashin's offer is looking like the one...

Use escrow.

This is how escrow works:

1) Find an escrow. Someone trusted in the community such as Maidak or DannyHamilton.

2)Escrow makes a contract and both seller and buyer agree to the terms. The seller of BTC sends the BTC to the escrow. This is so that they cannot scam you by not sending you your BTC after you have paid them.

3)Once the BTC is held by the trusted escrow, the buyer of the BTC makes the payment or arrangement agreed upon to the seller. Once the payment is completed, the seller notifies the escrow to release the BTC to the buyer.

4) The escrow sends the buyer (YOU) the BTC you purchased or are owed. Using a 3rd party escrow prevents either party from getting scammed. It is in your best interest if you are a newbie to use an escrow.

Hope this makes sense to you Liam. Best wishes to you.
