Mt. Gox, BitInstant and similar sites charge around a 4% fee for cash into site. The plus side it is almost immediate or within the hour.

All paid signature campaigns should be banned.

There are many small exchanges, I like https://bitfloor.com and https://www.bitfinex.com

Easy to set up, pretty easy to fund.

Exchange USD for Bitcoins - 15% Commission on Current Market Price

http://stlouis.craigslist.org/ele/3681927817.html

+15% is this fair price?

I have never bought / sell ... but looking at that link ... he makes 30% just being the middle man. He buys at -15%, sells at +15%. I think that's totally unreasonable. Well, at least I don't think MtGox charges that much or any other exchanges for that matter.
In addition, it's craigslist ... I would be really be careful.

I hope you don't fall into the hype of record prices. And if you are into btc for the long term, what's another few days over the normal verified / trusted exchanges.

Like I said, I have never traded, so I'm not "encouraging" you to go one way or the other. Plus, it's your $$; do what floats your boat with it.

Since this is a bitcoin forum, I'll give you a few places.

Mtgox.com <--- Is the major exchange, transferring money here can be tricky the first time.
Coinbase.com <--- Is kind of broken, do not use this.
btcquick.com <--- Seems good, but they are out of BTC.

If you want them NOW, you may have to use OTC.

The list goes on.

Hi,

Can anyone advise the best place to buy coins (from the UK)?

I've been looking at mtgox.com but I'm having trouble adding funds from a HSBC account.

Any others?
