I'm testing the waters for becoming a "seller" on SR. What do you want from someone that takes BTC and sends you cash, PP, gift cards, etc? I have the ability to but large amounts of BTC but I have a feeling that most SR folks will just want small amounts. All feedback is welcome on this.

Quick transfers.
Minimal fees / commission.
Absolute anonymity.
Friendly service.
International services (as long as you can cover the UK).

I'd love to use such a service!
Among the "must haves":
1) Worldwide shipping
2) Great packaging skills -- in some countries (including some in western Europe) it's illegal to mail cash
3) Absolute anonymity
4) Low fees, obviously
It'd be nice to choose among various currencies (at least USD, EUR, GBP)
Thanks!

Cool. Both of you mentioned "low fees". What do you think is fair price for this? Maybe 10% in small amount and 8% in larger amounts? Or something different?
-
It's a bit on the high side for me, but way better than the 30% rape that some sellers try to put people through.
But with SR escrow (6%), the rates would end up between 14% and 16% :-\
One thing that I forgot: reliability. If I expect to be able to cash out 100 BTC and can't do it, it'd feel pissed...
-
Understood. I'm not afraid of the high amounts of BTC buys. In fact, I would welcome them

There are lots of off Silk Road options. You would have to offer something special to make me use your service rather than one completely unaffiliated with Silk Road.
You might have some luck with inexperienced people, but doing cash exchange though the site seems like a liability.
Dwolla/MtGox is less than 1%

maybe some n. korean counterfeit bills at half price.........
