Topic: Who here used AurumXchange? (Read 792 times)

aurumxchange... I don't think I'll forget this name so quickly.

I was looking for an easy way to buy bitcoins. When it comes to bitcoin nothing is easy I had to learn. Since I couldn't buy coins directly I had to use an exchange. I chose mtgox. But you can't send money to mtgox, so they offer aurumxchange to receive wire transfers.

So I went through their procedure with sending passport, sending drivers license, sending blood sample, sending my dna and whatever else they wanted (yes, they are in the US, if you haven't noticed. This information gathering is not their fault).

Now my story only involves wire transfers to aurumxchange, I can't say anything about other exchanges.

If you go to their website an click on the buy link you get to the form for the transfer. Now you can fill out how much money you want to either receive or send. wow, isn't that handy. Before I sent the order it stated that if I need exactly the amount I wanted, it is advised to add an additional 10$ for bank fees. ok, kind of expensive but great.

I needed at least 80$ in bitcoins so I thought maybe I'll buy something else some time so I should transfer enough funds. I sent 120$ on the way to aurumxchange (my bank charged 3$ for the transaction).

After two days I received an email from aurumxchange which stated they received the 90$ is sent. ?... ?... ? 90$? I sent 120$ (one hundred and twenty us dollars). from these 90$ they deducted their fee and sent 80$ to my mtgox account.

I sent them emails back and forth. It ended up with them basically calling me an idiot (not in these words) and it's the fault of my bank they charged so much bla bla bla.

So I went to my bank and we checked the transaction. My  Swiss bank only charged 3$ for the transaction and the polish bank of aurumxchange obviously charged 30$ for whatever reason. If they take (up to) 30$ they have to state this otherwise I call it fraud. If I order a meal at mc donalds and half of it get's lost because the employee isn't able to bring it all to my table it's their fault not mine.

they are useless to transfer wires to them.

If anybody from aurumxchange reads this, you are welcome to comment!

sounds pretty good!, Thanks for sharing!

I have been using them since 2009 to exchange e-currencies. They are by far the best. Recently I sold 230 BTC for a wire and it was super fast. In fact, they don't advertise this on their site but their "International USD wire" is really an ACH direct deposit if you are in the US, so you get the funds the next day, or at least that's how my funds got sent.

Hope it helps!

good enough, thanks for the feedback guys

i use it for change lr to mtgox usd, real nice

yeah but what about BTC to real world wire?

used it a couple of times, always worked.

Also used them in the past for LR>BTC/BTC>LR and even cashing out a mtgox voucher. Premium service with reasonable fees.

as far as i know it's the quickest way to exchange LR-bitcoins in both directions. Automatic exchange, no need for verification BS..

Have bit a bit buggy sometimes, mkaing it impossible to enter an order, but support have fixed it after e-mailing them.

been using that service 3 month ago. and their service are quite good, i'm using liberty reserve to exchange in bitcoin and only take 5 - 10 minutes. the bitcoins send instantly to my wallet  .

They seem to have really, really wide range of exchange services and the fees are quite reasonable.
If you used them i'm interested how fast and reliable they are and in particular if you have used them to exchange any online currency to wire with them. How long it took them to deliver the wire?
