best options are localbitcoins.com and bitcoin-otc.com. also, find a local bitcoin meetup and barter in person.

LTC -> BTC -> Silver!
Add BTC to your Mt. Gox account by:
1. buying them at Bitfloor through a bank deposit (can be done immediately after opening account.)
or
2. Connect your bank account to a Coinbase account to buy BTC (takes a few days.)

I'm stuck in the que at mtgox waiting for my account to get verified.

What are some good options for me to get some BTC while I'm waiting.  Ideally I'm looking to something that accepts paypal, that would be the easiest for me.  Or something that would accept a debit card from my bank.

I havent been able to find anything though with either one of those options. Any suggestions ?

I think you can still deposit and buy BTC before you are verified. You are just restricted in the amount of BTC you can withdraw per day.

Forget paypal.

Even debit cards don't seem to be acceptable for some reason. Suppose they can be charged back like credit cards.

Options are very limited depending where you are. Luckily I trade in Europe and Bitstamp were very quick approving my account.

Again, shows the need for a serious rival to MtGox in the US.
