Topic: How can i buy/sell from South Africa? (Read 2934 times)
Here are some guys on Bitmit who are buying/selling Bitcoins/ZAR: http://www.bitmit.net/en/trade/i/2667-south-african-r100-electronic-funds-transfer/seller_info
I have found no way to sell my BTC so that I end with it in my bank as ZAR.
Another method just recently made available to cash out bitcoins to ZAR at a bank is to use CA Virtex, which lets you withdraw your funds (CAD) to your Payza (formerly AlertPay) account. From there, withdrawal (as ZAR) to a South African bank is possible.

Hi,
I have looked around to try find a way to buy/sell BTC from South Africa with almost no luck.
I could possibly buy with paypal when a user on these forums is selling and doesn't mind paypal but are the no sites what still allow it or a credit card purchase(that is safe to use)?
I have found no way to sell my BTC so that I end with it in my bank as ZAR. An alternative I have seen is a temp visa card that they transfer the $ value into - are these relatively safe and can these cards be used internationally?
Any help/advice would be appreciated
Thanks,

You can sell your Bitcoin BTC and and get cash payment anywhere in the world by Western Union money transfer system at WMXchange.net. You can check our thread here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/exchange-sell-buy-bitcoin-liberty-reserve-okpay-wmz-pm-with-wu-mg-bank-76145 or to register a order go to our website www.wmxchange.net .
Thanks for the help guys, will register on cryptoxchange now and take a look
1. Sell your BTC on Crypto X Change in any AUD or USD market (https://cryptoxchange.com/)
2. Request a withdraw from them in ZAR as receiving currency. ( fees 5 AUD + 0.6%, no international wire transfer cost )
Please note you will need to get verified with them for any amount over 500$.
Cheers

Ya, using a PayPal account or credit card for buying bitcoins is pretty much a non-starter no matter which country you are from.
Cashing out (selling bitcoins) to PayPal is easier.
- http://www.spendbitcoins.com (just pay the normal fees that the merchant incurs .. 2.9% + $0.30)
- http://www.BitcoinNordic.com (10% fee)
For larger amounts, using an exchange and withdrawing to a bank is probably the least expensive. For example:
- http://cryptoxchange.com/blog/7/new-improvements-at-crypto-x-change-deposit-withdraw-any-currency-now-for-5
The cards from OKPay and AurumXChange can be used internationally.

I believe Crypto X Change (cryptoxchange.com) accepts ZAR and can send ZAR out to your bank as well.
Give them a try!
