Title: Buying Bitcoins in Europe
Post by: kiwiz92 on June 29, 2012, 06:04 pm
Hi, i've done some research but i've found nothing so far. I'm new to SR and I live in France, Europe, i'm searching for a Bitcoin service witch doesn't require a bank account and is quick and easy to use. Any ideas ?

Hi buddy, welcome to SR!

I run a service selling Bitcoins in exchange for cash in the mail and am happy to accept Euros.

Have a look at my review thread here : http://dkn255hz262ypmii.onion/index.php?topic=22148.0

Feel free to send me a message if you have any questions - je sais parler francais aussi ci c mieux :-)

All the best,

V.

Hi kiwiz92,

In addition to vlad1m1r's services (who comes highly recommended by a large number of users here), you can also use www.canadianbitcoins.com (clearnet) to purchase Bitcoin using Western Union transfers. The price you pay is advertised in Canadian dollars.

You're too kind grahamgreene, WU is indeed an option if you're willing to pay the wire transfer fees. I would advise using cash rather than using your card to fund the purchase online. Just to show there's no hard feelings I'll even supply the current XR between CAD and EUR from my own bank 1.28696.

I am happy to accept Euro in the mail, which will be converted to GBP at local rates (currently 1.317 EUR/GBP) and then banked minus a small commission. Remember that cash is one of the few ways to obtain Bitcoins safely whatever you choose! :-)

bitmarket.eu         (Might be hard to get verified if you havent used other BTC exchanges. But NO FEES.)

bitstamp.net         (havent used this one yet, but for some reason they use USD . Read good about this one though)

bitcoin.de           (disbursement limit sucks though you can only disburse 15 a day when you have less than 5 transactions.

And than theres Intersango.

Not at all, just thought the user should know that people think quite highly of you here!   :)
I'm happy enough myself with canadianbitcoins.com, I have a system worked out and it works for me but I may be interested in a few cash in the mail transactions myself in the future. I can exchange Euro for Sterling here commission free so there'd be no problem with that. Is your service commission a set percentage or is it dependent on the amount?

Intersango.com ftw and they accept SEPA!!! No need for ID either. Only side note is that their bank is in Poland so by law their bank is allowed to take a small 1,5€ fee for a transaction.

Hi Graham,

Thanks again - my commission is deducted from the amount you send and goes down depending on how much you need. For amounts up to £130 it's 12.5%, from £131 to £999 it's 10% and anything beyond that is 5% or lower  - I also offer further discounts to repeat customers.

I'm happy to accept EUR/CAD/USD etc. but they're converted to GBP before being banked. Some of my customers have found it's less trouble just to send me their Euros and let me do the exchanging for them, some can get a better rate at home so buy some GBP and send that instead, it's all the same to me!

CanadianBitcoins looks like a very professional setup as does the Mining Fund...!
