Hi buddy,

This is a singularly bad idea - most vendors are reluctant to accept cards due to chargebacks - the original purchase of Bitcoins can also be traced back to you personally so it isn't safe.

If you live in the US I suggest you hit up the vendor BlueSkyTraders who will sell you Bitcoins in exchange for MoneyPaks which you can buy with cards/cash. If you're in the UK/Europe I operate a service selling Bitcoins for cash in the mail.

I, too, am not understanding what I have to do to get Bitcoins...all this information is just too much & too confusing.  I looked up BlueSkyTraders, but don't see anything on their site about Bitcoins.  HELP!!!
