I was just wondering what are some of the best options for a newbie to purchase bitcoins and not pay the enormous fees that are being charged on SR. I want to get started as quickly as possible. :-)

you Mean https://www.virwox.com or the scammer virwex that spamming here?
if for the first one - i used them, it worked fine just loads of commissions about 3BTC for 50$ in paypal after all the commissions + takes about 3 days to be approved.
regarding the second one the guy above me noted - its a scam, stay away.

Virwex is a scam

I have used virwOx.com to buy bitcoins before. You have to buy linden dollars and then convert those to BTCs. It took like 4 days to actually get the coins and their customer support didn't respond until I filed a claim with paypal. I recommend using a different route.
If you do decide to use this method please make sure you are using virwOx and not virwEx

Thanks for the info!

I use Virwox to fund my account, I have a Level 4 access account there and it works great! You lose a level of security if you use their Paypal or Credit Card payment function though.
