I use these all the time, I also use the same person.  Pay via Bank Transfer and in few hours have your coins.  Cool.
PS. always use escrow!

Also try localbitcoins.com, easy to do bank transfers.

I use both depending on which has better prices.

I don't really understand MtGox. It's the biggest exchange so it gets targeted by the regulators the most, hence they would the most strict rules in place about actually using it?Huh

I went through all the hoops to pass their anti money laundering regs, and once I'd finally done that discovered that the only way I could buy BTC through them was to lodge money in a Japanese bank account??? And it looks like it will cost by £40 (I'm in the UK) to do that from my bank.

Surely there must be an easier way to buy BTC in the UK?
