Hi , i just decided to buy myself some bitcoins for X-mas, i`m from Romania (European Union) and i got an EUR bank account with MasterCard debit card, and i would like to buy some bitcoins with a secure and reputable site which of course accepts clients from Romania.
I dont know how this works, because my card is for international payments so i guess it should be ok for any sites out there, but maybe some of them would not accept payments from my country, who knows.
So please tell me if somebody knows any site that is very secure and reputable and accepts payments via MC debit card in EUR (it is a must to pay with my card because i dont like bank transfers it has too big comissions)
Thanks for help!

Very true most will not want to take the risk. As once the BTC is sent a chargeback will not bring it back. I suggest looking asking what is a good site for EU. I know coinbase works great with US. I opened a checking account just for BTC buying. Keeps it where I have not linked any money I don't want to the site.

Ok but how do you most of you guys buy bitcoin then, surely not many would use wire transfer because comissions (atleast in the EU are huge). There are sure other payment services but i would like one without a middle man, because i dont really trust middle man type services... So the only option would be to use credit/debit cards no?

I opened a checking account just for BTC buying. Keeps it where I have not linked any money I don't want to the site. I found this site which presumably accepts EUR and debit cards like my Master Card https://www.247exchange.comI quickly read its terms of agreement, and it writes there that the buyer is responsible for chargeback, and if its done i have to repay them back. Of course i have no interntion to chargeback or any other stuff i just want to get some bitcoins, thats all. So does anyone have any information about this firm or it's credibility, please notify me ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif)

This is a bit of problem with bitcoin although its not bitcoins fault, that even though the bitcoins are cheap to transfer with low fees, the fact to buy them is not, so even if you hold your wealth in BTC, you still have to buy that BTC in the first place, leaving a huge amount at your greedy bank's doorstep. Also i bet if more and more people would resolve the payment system to accept all sorts of major systems like debit cards, then the BTC would have a lot more demand than now. I bet poor people in highly inflated regions would pick it up very fast as a currency, opposing their trash toilet paper fiat money. A bit offtopic, but it just bugged me very much. Please continue to give me advices, thanks ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif)

Circle.com is hands down the best site to buy Bitcoin with a Credit/debit card, the interface is simple and super easy to use. You can set up your account and have your Bitcoin ready within a few minutes. I know people from Australia have been using the site without issues, I'm pretty sure you should be able to use EU debit card, although I cannot say for sure. Just give it a try and find out. You can also buy from Virwox using Paypal/Skrill but their fees are pretty steep. Enjoy your Bitcoin Xmas! ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

If I were in your position, I would just take the money out of the debit card, deposit it in my bank account and buy bitcoin on Bitstamp with a SEPA transfer.

Ok but how do you most of you guys buy bitcoin then, surely not many would use wire transfer because comissions (atleast in the EU are huge). There are sure other payment services but i would like one without a middle man, because i dont really trust middle man type services... So the only option would be to use credit/debit cards no? Since you want to buy bitcoin without a middle man, why don't you use localbitcoins or the Romanian section here to find someone near you and willing to sell you some bitcoin for cash?

Since you want to buy bitcoin without a middle man, why don't you use localbitcoins or the Romanian section here to find someone near you and willing to sell you some bitcoin for cash? Thats a nice idea, but i want to find a reputable service, so that i can always buy bitcoins, because i want to buy larger sums later on, and i dont really trust F2F transaction with large sums, i can be robbed on the street or whatever. ...And i cant even go to the police to report the robbery because bitcoins is not recognized as currency ![Embarrassed](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/embarrassed.gif) So if i just buy smaller sums and find a reputable buying place then i can buy later larger sums there without any problem. You see my point? BTW Guys, stop confusing credit and debit cards, they are not the same, credit cards canot be refunded while debit cards can so many businesses will not accept debit cards, just as easily as credit cards. PS: Also i didnt bought any yet, because i`ll probably wait until X-mas ends so that the price to stabilize. Now, because there are so many promotions and bundle sales for the holidays, people rush to sell their BTC and the value could decrease even more. I`m gonna wait 3-4 more days then i`ll buy the BTC, so until then any other tips are welcome ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)
