Im relatively new to bitcoin and trading.
Since Bitstamp is down at the moment i wanted to ask you guys about other options. Im looking at itbit.com, any thoughts?
it´s already some time since I took a closer look at itbit, but as far as I remember the ridiculous long withdrawaltimes kept me waiting for improvement.

other places:
-bitstamp (if and when it comes back)
-bitfinex
-kraken (one of the best when it comes to regulatory compliance and openess about who is actually behind it)
and ofcourse
-bitcoin.de (which is a marketplace much like ebay, but just for btc. They have a good escrow service and probably the best support you could wish for.)
[you are welcome to use my affiliate link btw: https://www.bitcoin.de/de/r/kbrt22]

--trustworthy but very low volume:
-bitcurex

--seems to work, but take extra care (there have been temporary hick ups):
zyado

--not a great idea (anymore.):
-hitbtc (they de-verified bank accounts, so thgey could keep customer fiat balances and there are reports of market making payouts not made)

Anyway, if you are just starting out in btc trading, I´d suggest you stick to the established exchanges (kraken, bitcoin.de, bitstamp)
and NEVER FORGET:
there is no free lunch.

and if something sounds too good to be true, it is not true.
there are very many scammers.

good luck.
