Sure, Mt.Gox sucks when it comes to moving large sums of money, but these issues are not related to bitcoins. It's all about traditional banking laws and regulations.
It also sucks that we don't have something like www.bitcoinstore.com in Europe yet. Otherwise people like you could spend the bitcoins directly.

I sold my bitcoins because I want to buy a new pc I had like 300 BTC
Mistake number one. Never leave funds at an exchange unless you will be using them to exhange. Mt. Gox provides EWallet service, but that comes at a cost -- limits on what you can do with your coins.
First of all, you need a verified account to withdraw. That is OK, but my account cannot withdraw for whatever reason.
Your bank doesn't withdraw from Mt. Gox, Mt. Gox sends the funds to your bank. Are you saying the bank rejected (returned the) transfer?
Unfortunately in Greece we don't Apostille utility bills.
Mistake number three. There are so many options for SEPA and the cost is not that high.
My response? "Don't bother with btc mate"
Not a single problem you are describing has to do with bitcoin. You are describing the problem with a third-party exchange, not with bitcoin. But, of course, nearly everyone needs to deal with exchanges, so that's fair to say that trouble with third-party exchanges weigh negatively on the Bitcoin user experience.
Unfortunately, for some reason, Mt. Gox seems to have your number.
Can you convert your EUR back to bitcoins and withdraw to another exchange? (Don't do it all at times. Try 5 EUR worth. If that workds, then try 10 EUR worth. If that works, try $50 EUR worth. and so on until you have 500 EUR or so withdrawn, then wait a couple days and repeat. Eventually you'll have your BTCs withdrawn and you can solve your problem elsewhere.
you thought about this,really?
Oops - I see your point now - you sold them under the current value - I guess you might have to wait and hope for a downturn.
I do understand that you are frustrated (and have not actually used Mt. Gox myself) - am just suggesting that it might be an easier route to "buy BTC" with your Mt. Gox $ and then move it out as BTC rather than as "fiat" (but please see if others have been successful doing this before trying as I am offering advice without having done so myself).
I cannot withdraw BTC cause I have sold all my BTC and have Mtgox $ now in it.
Buy BTC, transfer to some other exchange.

It is just juge hassle to withdraw. My account is verified but not "trusted" and I am supposed to be able to withdraw <$1k but It is just resturned to me.
Every time I mail support it takes 3-4 days only to be faced with another technicality or problem.
I am just saying, having a currency where you can only deposit very easily (no documents asked for SEPA) but so so difficult to withdraw. How is bitcoin supposed to be for the masses?
