Coinbase is a mess, so tried CEX

Tl;dr: I did not notice the BTC price they apply is ~ +8% (Compared to coinbase is ~ + 10% in this moment). Other figures are right but the base price is the ~ 8% higher. Sorry!

Long story short: ID + selfie + DNA etc. etc. payed with CC. They charges 3.88% on the amount in $ or EUR + 0.001 BTC when you send them away.

So if you invest 100 $ you spend 103,88 $ + 0.001 BTC, the latter is fixed, so hight BTC price = you spend more, low BTC price the opposite.

Those 0.001 are the only fee to pay to send away BTC. 3 blocks to get confirmation.

All in all: fast, simple, not so expensive after all, if you can stand the idea of selfie with ID and so on.

Using bank transfers lower the 3.88% fee to 0.90% if I remeber well.

Any suggestion is welcome... to be honest I took a look to localbitcoins too, the opposite way of doing things, but here the market is quite poor of vendors.

I hate coinbase so much

And why is this better than Coinbase? Also, their site clearly states 7% fee and they don't work with every state.

Cex sucks too they fuck me with fees

Go with LibertyX instead, the fee is based on what the store sets and you can request stores to sign up if one isn't near you that uses it, also it's an instant transfer directly to the wallet you are using

I use xcoins but it's taxed really heavy

I think since he mentioned he used a CC and that ACH deposits have a lower fee, I'm hoping yes 👍🏻

Thanks for the suggestion OP!
