Hello,

I would like to buy a few altcoins, which websites are the safest to buy from with a credit card ?
Also are there any fees ? How can I know if a website is trustworthy ?

Example:
I buy 10 coins valued 1$/u.
Will I spend 10$ to get them in my wallet ?

You can buy from Coinbase exchange directly with your credit card but must pay a minimum fees with them depending to your purchased BTC but you can also buy from paxful with people that is already trusted so you can avoid being scammed, so many ways to buy using credit but differentiate only with fees, goodluck.

Coinbase does Credit card transaction, instant post to your wallet. Think the fee is around 4%. Coinbase is VERY safe. Well established company locaed in San Francisco.

Coinbase is a reliable exchange in terms of how safe your funds are. Though periodic downtime's can be a detractor.

I see on other sites people sell for bitcoin for paypal but sell it for 150% more. Is that something that you think would be a smart way to make easy money? Or are the scams too frequent for it to be worth it?

Here is my list of preferred exchanges, for the purchase of Bitcoins (in the decreasing order of preference, with #1 the most preferred):

1. BTC-e
2. Bittrex
3. Poloniex
4. Vircurex
5. Coinsbank

using local exchange can also secure and good option, i myself using different exchanges and almost every exchange i found more secure and never find any problem while using these exchanges.

Hi,

It really depends on the country you live in. for example where i leave there is no other option of buying bitcoin unless buying it from localbitcoin and via cash. but beware of scammers. Once you have the BTC you can then send it to an exchanger of your choice in order to exchange them with altcoins. Exchanger i use are poloniex and bittrex. make sure you enable 2FA and i personally don't leave a big amount on exchanger for security reasons.

Hope it helps

...and there are also fees when transacting from BTC to altcoins (at least on Kraken) and when buying BTC on Bitstamp.

Hello there

For example I buy BTC on Bitstamp (it's the only one I have found with credit card purchase) although there is a 8 EUR fee for buying BTC worth 100 eur, that leaves me with 100-8 = 92 eur worth BTC.

After that I send the BTC into Kraken and there I exchange them in various altcoins.

Hope this helps.

I dont think you can get altcoins with credit card, instead you can purchase bitcoin with credit card and then convert it to altcoins.
Purchasing bitcoin with credit card goes to manual check, the process may be longer and may take some time to complete the transaction. The maximum transaction fees for bitcoin will be 0.0005 bitcoin, you can also increase the transfer fees to speed up the transaction. You can purchase bitcoins and then transfer it to yobit or cryptopia or any other exchange platform and then you can convert it to altcoins to start your trading.

If my suggestion, you better buy in market available in your own country,
For crypto alltcoin there must be selling in most countries with credit cards.

You could buy ethereum and litecoin in coinbase with credit card but the fees are quite high

There are many website where you can buy ALT coin, generally i would suggest you Bittrex.com , Hitbtc.com , Liqui.io (new one), poloneix.com ETC is the best to me. You can visit those site and can cheek the charges.

Keyword: "altcoins"! Not all altcoins can be bought for $. Most likely you will have to make several transactions and pay a few fees.
Fees are everywhere! This is the basis for the functioning of any intermediary.

Try localbitcoins.com or btc-e.com

In the best case, you will spend $ 11
