You can add money to Virwox with PayPal, buy Second Life Linden Dollars (SSL) with USD, then trade the SSL for BTC. It's limited to $52 at a time, and the fees are quite steep though. I tried it out with $20 - BTC ended up costing $170 when the price on Mt. Gox was $155.

I used bitspend.com to get funds in my account. It took 2 hours from depositing the cash to receiving the coins. Might have been quicker I wasn't watching. It did have a fee but I got lucky and the rise in value offset this in 4 hours.



The site seems down for me, is this the correct URL?

EDIT: nvm, its https://bitspend.net/ I guess

I'm still new at all of this myself, but from my experience so far, no, there is no easy way to buy BTC.  Because of the risk of fraud, charge-backs, money laundering, terrorism, etc. it's intentionally made hard.  I'm still in the process of purchasing my first BTC, and with all of the market action, influx of new users, and everything else, I still don't have one.  Been at it for nearly 2 weeks now, and if I can trust the exchange I'm buying from, I wil lhave my BTC in the morning.   Smiley

In case some one is reading this.

In short words, any solution to sell/buy BTC with VISA, paypal (I think they ban digital currencies...) or any equivalent service?

Ok, maybe is because I'm new in this but I've tried a couple of "popular things":

OKPAY + btc-e. This takes literally a week with the international transfer etc... And they all have comissions, plus I have to make more than 3 "transfers" (including $ + BTC) to get what I want to buy/sell.

How you do it experienced guys? Now seriously, isn't there a one click, <30 minutes waiting, low fee solution?

and with that it would be so easy
No, it would be a fraud and chargebacks fest.

What do you mean be crazy enough to do this? To buy with VISA or to create a website like that?

I mean, it takes days to buy a single bitcoin and with that it would be so easy... I would definitely use it.

I doubt anyone would be crazy enough to do this, but, hey, I've been wrong before.
