Best way to withdraw MtGox to German bank account?

[bcdd]

I was trading at MtGox around August last year, and back then could easily withdraw BTC via a SEPA transaction to a German bank account, and there was also a polish website around that allowed trading BTC for PayPal (bad idea, I know).

Now things aren't so easy anymore - MtGox's international wire costs a lot (test-transferred 150 USD, got 91.94 EUR in the bank). AurumXChange tells me at the moment that MtGox codes cannot be processed, so no quote there.

Any ideas for a good way to transfer MtGox USD (or BTC, for that matter) to a German bank account without paying ridiculous processing fees?

Thanks & regards,
bcdd

Thank you for this list. The first four links provide ways to Exchange BTC to EUR, but sadly, lack the liquidity of MtGox by a long way. The last link seems more promising, though I'd have preferred to transfer USD out of MtGox instead of BTC.

That's sometimes something that can work in your favor.  You are selling.  More often than not, the buyers are overpaying due to the lack of liquidity -- and the sellers are profiting.  Especially on BitStamp. Unless you need to clear and then withdraw a bunch right away, try putting a sell order out there and then see what happens.

Good point - I'll give it a try. Thanks!

I can personally assist you in this matter, I have a verified gox account and can have the money wired to you from my account.

I can also send you any sort of verification documentation.

Okay guys - now I want to ask the other way round. What's the fastest way getting EUR to my mtgox account but as USD? Paxum is nice but 5% fee is way too much, or did I misunderstood something?
