Successfully bought 0.044BTC for 25$ - took around 2 hours but I suppose that's only because I ordered two hours before weekend opening hours.

 Cool

Also, the long awaited SSL cert on the login and checkout pages are up.
We are changing terminals to Authorize.net which should be up tomorrow!

Interesting. Can you do the opposite? Sell Bitcoins for cash directly to your CC/Paypal?
We are working on implementing that.

tried but expensive, any way to make em affordable?

Unfortunately, with the nature of accepting reversible payment methods with bitcoins, I have to keep the limits and margins where they are at now.
I hope that in the coming weeks, when I have more data to analyze, I am able to raise limits with smaller margins. Until then, it is what it is.

What a strange conversation this thread is having. People griping about marked up prices when clearly this service provides a convenience you won't get anywhere else without giving up your obscurity entirely. Try looking at Coinbase's revised TOS, which basically bends you over backwards and searches your pockets for everything. Even Coin.MX is somewhat loose when it comes to protecting your privacy.

I gave the service a try yesterday and bought the smallest amount 0.014 BTC for $10. The first confirmation arrived in my wallet within three minutes. If had bought that on something like Coinbase, I would have had to wait for 4-5 business days before I saw that coin! Ever since Coinbase started being an IRS lapdog, and sucking up to the central bankers I dumped them and have been looking for an alternative. Since I don't make HUGE BTC purchases all at once, this service is absolutely perfect for me!

It minimizes my risk in dealing with purchasing BTC: makes it easy, convenient and FAST!

This is a heaven for scammers which you can detect and report back to the community!
Well scammers are going to be using stolen credit cards with different names and are behind proxies, so no, they cannot be exposed.

Its a rip off to scammers looking to unload stolen accounts and cards. Anyone can get a fake ID and cards, stolen accounts. That seems why these new buy btc by credit/paypal are limited to 25 bucks or so. Hopefully a trust system can be implemented to purchase larger amounts
What exactly are you trying to say?
"Its a rip off to scammers"? What?

If anything, scammers are doing the ripping off. Bitcoin Insanity is the only one taking the risk.
There are fraud detection methods set in place to prevent that from happening.

bitcoininsanity charges $500 per bitcoin when the average market price is currently < $430. That's a bit of a ripoff don't you think?

Just go to coin.mx if you seriously want to use credit card. After fees and such it comes out to being about 10% over bitstamp.

From the guy with red trust?
Even he's bad but I can attest to coin.mx!

Just to confirm, after wondering if I should try this out or not, I ordered the 25usd order today and everything went great. Btc was sent fast (in a few minutes).
Only negative side is that I wanted to order 0.01btc more because I need it Smiley but wasnt able to due to 1 order per 24 hour period limitation.
Also, the discount for first day orders was nice, too bad it wont last longer.
I can recommend this site (atleast for now) and would use it again if I needed more btc.
