Hi.
My name is Mark. I'm new to all this. I have made an account here on Silk Road and I have also got the wallet downloaded for bitcoin and an account for it etc.
The only thng is - no matter how many hours I have spent searching I cannot for the life of me seem to get any bitcoins. I just want to buy them! Like with my debit card or paypal or anything!
Could someone please please help me? Explain how or send me a link or even sell me some bitcoins??
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you are in Canada you can use 'www.cavirtex.com'. In the states I'm not sure, the market seems to be all over the place and I don't know where users are buying BTC right now.
One thing I will warn you about, you asked 'Can someone sell me bitcoins'. Please be very careful about buying BTC directly from any user. Buying BTC directly from another user involves you sending your money to them and hoping they send you back the BTC. This is probably the number one scam I see people complaining about on the forums. They send some guy a moneypak code and never see the bitcoin show up and the vendor stops responding to any attempts at contact.

Are you in the UK? If so, PM me.

If you're in the uk, go to bitbargain. co. uk and register an account.
Then download the Barclay's Pingit app for smartphone. Register on that, and you're done.
Top up your pingit account using your visa, then buy coins on bitbargain. Follow the instructions on there for sending payment via pingit.
Also, check out mtgox.com if you're outside the uk.
Never respond to people offering to sell you coins privately. Very risky.
You're better off finding a reputable site that sells coins.
