Looking for a fairly direct way to turn credit card into BC. Any thoughts?

You need to think hard about this buddy, as even if you can find someone willing to process your BTC order via card e.g through Paypal the purchase of the coins can be traced back to you. My suggestion for what it's worth is to use is to buy travel money e.g Euros and then use those in turn to buy your BTC - of course if you want to use my service you're most welcome but don't forget there's also Bitcoin-Otc and Craigslist. Whatever happened to my rival GreatBritishBitcoin, they still going strong?

I actually PMd you, sure you get a lot of message traffic but at any rate, my concerns are less on the anonymity and more on the instantaneous nature of my shopping habits lol

I've just started to trade again. Just as we started the rate rocketed so it was quite a busy time. I also had some mug try to fuck my feedback too, I don't need that stress and haven't got time - it's not hard to sell Bitcoins, I don't need or want that nonsense! So with whats going on recently I'm tentatively considering some trades.
Check my vendor page if your after THE safest way to get your coins. There will only be on offer what is on hand so there isn't going to be a situation where I over stretch and can't meet orders. The system is a great idea, just because some idiot gave it bad rep there's no reason to pass on it!
Best, GBBTC

Credit card payments can be subject to a "charge-back" initiated by the cardholder. If you were a bit-coin issuing authority, you would unnecessarily risk every coin you "sell" to a credit card user, because he could call his card company and issue a charge-back. The bit-coin issuer could put a hold on the bit-coins, to keep himself safe, but I think 90 days is the window of a charge-back, and that's a stupid long hold - aka not economically feasible to use credit cards due to fraud. Debit/Bank might work, but I'm unaware.

yep, the only real way to go (in the UK at least) is cash in the mail of F2F! It's safe enough though if using Special Delivery.
