Try Virwox

I seldom see someone suggesting Virwox Tongue
IMHO, the fee there is pretty bad.
The only good thing about Virwox is that, you can buy bitcoin with paypal (with terrible fee)...

I was just going to register there... looked to complicated...   but is it still the best or biggest site?

Is it really stealing??


They just run an all-round shoddy service. Have a look around this forum. You wont see one positive thing said about it.

It's one of the worst exchanges. I don't think it's stealing but people get their money stuck or tied up there. It also seems possible that they might've lost some peoples coins but this is unconfirmed and is just speculation at this point.

5. Bitsimple - no email reply in 24 hours, plus here's the real kicker, their phone number has been "disconnected or busy". Paying money to a company with a disconnected phone number? Yeah, right.

Can't help you if you dial the wrong phone number.   The phone number on the website has never been disconnected or busy.  The site offers secure (SSL protected) chat for customers so if you have specific questions the fastest response is to create an account and click on help at the bottom of any page.

Mtgox used to be usable, but it's totally fallen apart recently. It's a huge risk to buy there as you may never be able to withdraw anything... that's why their prices are so low at the moment. Bitstamp and localbitcoins have always worked well for me.

If you wander around this forum, you can see thousands of posts (if not more) complaining mtgox, and telling people to stay away from it...

mtgox maybe was the biggest exchange 2 years ago (no longer now), but it has never been the best exchange lol.

they haven't stole MY money yet...
why do you think MtGox is stealing money?

People have been waiting for months for their USD withdrawals...
And now, mtgox even stopped btc withdrawals....

Finally, a bitcoin exchange answered my questions. Vinny K at Camp Bx picked up and answered my questions. I will use CampBx and not use Coinbase even though I registered with Coinbase because they don't care enough about their customers to answer the phone. Coinbase never answered my emails after 48 hours and they don't have a phone nor live chat. Coinbase's auto verification process also doesn't work.

CampBx also has reasonable fees, too.

Thanks for all your suggestions, guys.

Just a friendly reminder, don't forget to enable 2FA for better security. Smiley

Bitstamp and Mt Gox are not allowing withdrawals.

Please refer to the following two blog entries by Gavin for details.

Bitstamp and Mt Gox are not allowing withdrawals. Possible liquidity problems? Not very confidence inspiring.

Sheesh, is it THAT HARD to buy bitcoins? No wonder 80% of bitcoins are held by a few early miners! They can't sell their dadgum bitcoins and I can't buy them!

Ugh.... Huh

Any other ideas? How can I buy and sell bitcoins without being GOXed in the Bithole by exchanges that don't care about their customers enough to answer the phone nor reply to emails after 48 HOURS?

Thanks,

Localbitcoins - Guys get arrested in Florida for some BS law that says you cannot buy more than $300 in bitcoins per year anonymously with cash. WTF?!

I'd like to know more about this... I'm in Florida.

Just did a google search for you, and found the following:
