I don't mind having to verify and show ID and all of that (I'm not trying to fake this natural awesomeness) LOL

Have you tried any of those sites yourself?

Coinmama is a minimum of $60 in BTC

Bitpanda I don't think accepts residents of the US

Cex.io after years of using them said that I came up as a high risk client (now can't use my account to purchase) even though I have never done a charge back anywhere and only use prepaid cards that I load to make sure that no one can steal like all my no money LOL

What is your go to P2P trading platform that you use?


I have tried Paxful (but for something else), Virwox.com for PayPal transactions (but the fees were quite high) so If you're having the same problem with the exchanges I mentioned, I'd suggest going with the currency exchange section on the forums, just make a thread, set your rates and wait for someone to P.M you, and someone will as long as your rates are fair.

What is your go to when you trade?

I used Circle quite a bit when it was operating. That really was the ideal solution especially as I'm in the UK and options are shite compared to almost everywhere else.

Other than that the majority of my buying is done on Localbitcoins via bank transfer. The premiums go through the roof when there's a hype train. When it's quiet it was actually cheaper than Bitstamp a few times.

Does it really and truly have to be card only? You're humongously restricting your choices and throwing away vast amounts in fees most of the time. It's not as dire as Paypal but it's still far from ideal.

It's a huge shame about Circle. That was the only one really worth shit. You can still sell to Circle which is a little publicised fact.

Checking on my localbitcoins market a cash deposit only attracts a tiny premium at the moment.

No it doesn't have to be but I have done almost everything else and just wanted to try to find a mellow site where I just enter the amount I want to pay and my registered card is already hooked up and.... bam I have coins and I did not spend 35% over their value plus random fees and mining fees as well }= LOL

I really like Coinbase except for they keep saying that I am over whatever lame daily limit they have imposed until I have purchased a certain amount but the transactions are instant within Coinbase and at most a couple mins leaving to external wallets. They also have the lowest fees out there. You pay more for transaction fees on most sites than I have paid on Coinbase for the whole shaband...

Before maybe 6 month ago I purchased at this site:
https://www.circle.com/en/
you can try it now. But I don't know what is going now with it.

Thank you for responding  Smiley I tried to use Circle back when they offered the option of buying bitcoin but they didn't accept prepaid cards and that was all I was willing to use at that time :/

Circle is not allowing to use the bitcoin services, you check the below link to find the information of debit card that you can use in Circle.

I would suggest Advcash and Spectocoin are good bitcoin debit card providers but you have to pay the monthly fees for maintenance and General ATM access cost.`

Circle closed and no longer offering bitcoin services. I'd go with P2P trading If your card allow C2C payments (Neteller, Payoneer etc.) otherwise, other options include: Coinmama, BitPanda, PayBis, Cex.io, Virwox.com (usually the ones without ID verification have higher fees).

What is your favorite site to buy bitcoin with a credit/debit card?

I really like Coinbase because of how inexpensive and reasonably fast it is... Downside is their limits for card purchases & excessive wait time for transfers

xCoins is WAY overpriced

I am looking for a site that is straight forward and easy

Thanks in advance  Grin
