Im new to this, so im sorry if you get this all the time!:L

But im looking to buy Bitcoins (BTC) with GBP using my bank card (not credit card).

One way is virwox, you can deposit using your bank account, convert to Linden-$ and then convert to BTC.
They don't charge fees for the deposit, and only moderately for the conversion to BTC.

Some people say that it is not necessary to have a 2nd live avatar, I don't think that is true, but you will need it
only once to connect your virwox account to 2nd life. For further transactions you don't need 2nd life anymore.

How many BTCs do you want btw?

You should know that if you purchase Bitcoins here on Silk Road that it will be somewhat expensive and will not be secure since you'll be bypassing escrow.

if you're from Canada you can try out cavirtex, all you do is go to your nearby RBC and do a cash deposit into their business account, wait a couple hours and then buy BTC through cavirtex's automatic buy/sell BTC system. The cash deposit method gaurantees you a certain amount of anonymity however if deposit $ into your account through any other method it will require verification/ID(which isn't recommended for obvious reasons).

Be careful and do your homework before you work out of escrow!

Intersango. They don't have any fees for domestic GBP transfers and charge 0.65% commission on BTC trades.

UK based exchange: www.intersango.com

Create an account, then once logged in you will see their bank account details (LloydsTSB)

You can then pay into their account, and in under a day the GBP will be in your Intersango account. You can then instantly exchange your GBP for BTC, and send the BTC anywhere you like.

For maximum anonymity, you would:

1) Access Intersango through TOR
2) Use a throwaway email account to register there
3) Pay into their account in cash at a branch of LloydsTSB
4) Transfer BTC out of Intersango into as many intermediate wallets as you can, before finally sending to SR

However if you're not worried about anonymity, you can use an internet bank transfer, not on TOR, and withdraw your BTC from Intersango straight into SR.

Good luck.

BTC shopping with PayPal:

virwox and bitinstant...

The virwox Linden Dollars shall be converted into and bitcoin.

The Bitinstant Mtgox Code can be purchased via PayPal.
MTgox bitcoins code can be changed.
There is much less a commission....
