Thanks, a lesson learned. MtGox might be good for some just not if you live in the UK it would seem.

Very unfortunate, sorry to hear that.

I recently sold 30 btc through MtGox but when I tried to withdraw the funds raised I hit the big brick wall of getting funds to the UK from MtGox. Yes others have had this problem for month which I have since learned but if MtGox wishes to be seen as professional they need to sort this out. As they haven't and they have had the problem for months then this proves how amateur their operation is. After buy back the coins, unfortunately with the increase in price I have less coins and am out of pocket due to the charges. I even had trouble getting my coins back as their software kept refusing to send me my balance. Eventually it did but my experience with dealing with them has left me with a bitter taste. As for selling my coins now I am not sure which is sad as I was planning on using the funds to get stuff for my family through local vendors in the UK. Now though to get these items I will be forced to go to the BitcoinStore which I have done business with before. Sadly this mean import tax coming out of our already stretched family budget. Who isn't suffering these days under the Coalition? So be warned avoid MtGox and look elsewhere to get btc's. Pity there wasn't an exchange that was available in the UK with the same ease of use at the front end as the aforementioned site.
