Title: Some options for buying bitcoins with credit card.
Post by: Dougggy on September 16, 2013, 03:01 pm
Hi, I have realized that many people are limited to using a credit card when buying bitcoins, so I have made a quick list for people that need some options;
      -Virwox; Although the fees are high it is still viable for using a credit card, however it may take 48 hours to fund your first time and there is a £48 limit your first time
      -Localbitcoins; there are many options that you can use to pay localbitcoins with;
                -Create a paypal account with your card and find a suitable vendor for this method
                -OKPay will let you send money with a credit card for a vendor to pick up, but this may take some time
                -Sepa bank transfer - By using the website TransferWise you're able to make a sepa bank transfer via credit card, there are many vendors that accept this on LB
                -Amazon cards - some vendors accept amazon cards if you are able to buy them with your card.
       -UKash and PaySafe cards; You can easily buy paysafecards and UKash online from many sites (such as pcgamesupply.com). These can then be converted into btc by using http://www.e-currency-exchange.com/.
        -Withdraw the cash and send it through the post; usually gets you the best rates, but for obvious reasons on of the slowest ;D
        -Visa Qiwi Wallet - By creating a visa qiwi wallet, you are able to fund a btc-e account via credit card through the service.

This is all I can think of currently, hope this helps some people out, I will continue to add any ways that I find:)
Please note, many of these options are unlikely to work with stolen credit cards, just don't use them.
