The terrible odyssey of trying to buy a small amount of bitcoins - page 2.

I am amazed by how hard it is to get on with bitcoin.

Up to now.

My strategy:

install one desktop wallet
create one webwallet
buy some bitcoins from my webwallet using my bank acount
move the bitcoins to my desktop wallet
make a cold backup

just to see how this whole thing works

My result:

zero

Let's see:

Download Electrum that for some reason doesn't start on my pc, a problem that others have, too.
Installed Multibit on my pc. They seem to use some service called Glidera, to let you buy bitcoins, which just operates in the US (I'm in Europe). But I was going to use some internet wallet for that, so anyways.
Created a wallet with Blockchain.info Proceeding to buy, my bank told me there were 7 EUR costs for a 15 EUR transfer. I thought it was my bank's overated charges. Tried to connect a different bank acount. It was impossible. The bank acount is nowhere to see in my Blockchain.info profile.
Created second wallet with Blockchain.info in order to connect there a different bank acount only to find out Coinify (which is some other service that "helps" buy bc at Blockchain) connected without asking me my bank acount A to that 2nd Blockchain.info acount. Still not being able to see in my profiles WHICH acount is connected where, I have no picture of my own stuff, there.
My bank says it's Coinify's end that charges 6 of the total of 7 EUR. My bank only charges 1 EUR for the transaction. Coinify denies that. So there's 6 EUR that is going to slip into someones pocket and I have no idea whose pocket it is. For the time being I trust my bank saying that it's the other end charging it.
I created a wallet with coin.space, since blockchain.info is too unhandy with my bank acounts and their obscure charges. But I don't see no way of buying bc there.

So much about easiness and clarity and trust. And we are talking about money!

Any suggestion which monster I should visit next in this terrible Odyssey to by the miserable sum of 15 bloody bitcoins?
