sepa is always euro, but you can do it from most bank accounts....though santander is a bit funny to do it from
takes 48hrs whenever ive done it

but banks etc take care of exchange etc...

a) work out how much you want to spend in gbp
b) you tell bitstamp how many euro's your sending (xe.com comes in handy here to convert value from (a) )
c) bitstamp give you details
d) goto your online banking find international transfers
e) enter details (either in euro or gbp)
f) send, wait 48 hrs


The gotcha in this is most banks charge a little...lloyds charges 10£ + 2% for example
You also MUST use the reference details bitstamp give you as the message on the transfer


tbh its a really easy, try it on a small amount first to see

Uk based exchange, but bank abroad (poland) due to uk money laws being a pita

When i first started mining - i sold all my bit coins through Bitmarket.eu obviously that's gone and its replacement isn't finished yet.

I'm now selling through mtgox but getting GBP is difficult - i am using OKPAY to get GBP into my account but i need to have a minimum 150 to transfer the cash and the fee is quite high.

any recommendations?
