That's maybe the major drawback of bitcoin - no easy way in. And i'm talking about regular people, not miners, brokers/speculators etc. The ones that actually spend money (usually via PP and/or CC) to BUY things (not just cryptocurrencies), the ones that eventually can replace PP and other existing payment methods with bitcoin.
And they don't want to wire funds to some shaddy exchange, wait for 7-30 days just to buy coins.
Neither they want to meet with someone in person to exchange money for coins (or vice versa)

I find it no harder than managing and moving dollars electronically. You mentioned PayPal, well it's basically the same process to fund your PayPal account. Get verified, send money, wait for your account to be funded. It's getting through the morass of legal requirements on dollars that is the problem. Once you have bitcoin you are free.

Hi,

I've noticed these three options arent available anywhere, on any market...usually its just bank transfers and dodgy e-wallets (which also require bank trasnfer in the beginning)

It is quite hard to buy coins, if I decide to bank wire, it takes sooo much time for it to get processed and then it's too late....

Are there any time-reasonable ways to buy them darn coins?

Campbx takes USPS money orders. They cost $1.60 for depositing up to $1000. Also they are in the USA, and comply with financial laws. Bitcoins are no longer hard to get.

Don't screw around with PayPal. Your money and bitcoins will be stolen and you will wish you had not tried it. Cry

EDIT: I use bank transfers with verified accounts. Easy-peasy.

I have been trying to find a way to buy bitcoins with paypal, but it seems very hard to do because of chargeback scams.

Has anyone used bank transfer?

A lot of services seem to offer this method of buying bitcoins, but I have no idea what the banks charge for the service. Is it cheaper to transfer money between bank accounts in the same country, or does it cost the same as international money transfers between bank accounts?

Problem with those three options are they are easily reversible so scammers and rippers take advantage of that by calling up their bank and saying that the payment was unauthorized.

Localbitcoins is an option but I don't have an opinion since I haven't used it.
I know it has some kind of escrow so should be ok, feedback seems ok.

They don't use paypal and such because it is easily "scammable", with virtual goods anyone can receive the value in BTC and then open a dispute saying he didn't receive it! Even though it is public paypal doesn't know if the Bitcoin address is yours and if the transaction has really been made and only has the option to give the money back!

I use Payza but there are sites many you can use like EgoPay or OKpay.
Then use a trading site like BTC-E or bitstamp to trade them up.

Beware of the fees:

funding the wallet in the site from your bank
transferring from the site to the trading site
trading fees
withdrawal fees to the site again
receiving fees on the site
withdrawal fee to you bank

(This is the reason why on localbitcoins you have such high trading rates!)
