Coinbase is probably your best bet. Although it is some what of a centralized way to exchange your BTC they are easy to use and from what I have read do rank high in terms of security.

The best way is to use a trusted exchange, ANXpro is one of them, and currently it has almost no fees for withdrawal and for deposits and it supports SEPA.

The safest way to sell BTC is likely coinbase. It is my understanding they have strong internal controls and have security under control.

The "best" way to sell BTC depends on your specific situation. Do you want to have the maximum level of anonymity? Do you wish to receive the funds as quickly as possible? Do you wish to receive the best price?

The answers to these questions will help you determine the best way to sell your BTC. Options besides coinbase include  localbitcoins, an exchange, selling it for goods/services, buying coffee ect. at a local store.

If for example there is a lien on your bank account, if you were to sell your BTC on coinbase and coinbase were to send the funds to your bank, the funds would obviously be garnished to pay for the lien. This is one example of why it is important to take your specific situation into consideration.

Some people say go with localbitcoins, but if you cant find anyone local then I'd recommend coinbase.  They will direct deposit to your bank account.  takes about 3 business days.

The easiest way is through an exchange like Coinbase, Bitstamp or Kraken.
If you decide to do it through Localbitcoin, be wary of scammers.

If you take the time to get an account registered at a trusted exchange site, and transfer your bitcoins to the site and sell them, that's the safest way. It's probably one of the more lengthier processes when selling Bitcoins, but definitely one of the safest routres. My second recommendation would be to get a trusted Escrow source, they usually charge 1-2%, and find somebody who will buy them through Western Union. You're Bitcoins are secure and when the sender sends the money you're able to verify if it's been picked up, sent, or cancelled with the MTCN code. You might also benefit off of making a post on Craigslist if you're leary of not receiving the money. Localbitcoins is a good option too, but requires you to send the BTC first before receiving your payment. If you sell them Via Localbitcoins make sure it's with a reliable buyer that has a lot of good feedback.

Nice thanks for the tip!! Smiley

how safety of purchase and selling bitcoins depens on your location?

It is much safer to accept irreversible payments (like cash).
If you really want to accept reversible payments (like Paypal), pick the trade with long and good trade history.

I think face-to-face is the best way, as it provides a guarentee that you can be scammed unless you're robbed. Kind of as simple as that.

Or Mt.Gox right now. I'm 100% sure that you can't get scammed from it. Wink (Sarcasm)

will buyer send their money first to you?

You put the BTC you want to sell in the Localbitcoins' escrow, then the buyer gives / wires you the money and then you release the escrow.

Try to sell it locally, in some bitcoins meetups or like other said localbitcoin.com. Preferably sell in small small groups. And if possible sell face to face in public places.
