You may then withdraw the Linden Dollars to your Second Life avatar or continue as described below.

====For other currencies (USD, EUR, etc.)====

Technically, VirWoX only supports to sell BTC for Linden Dollars. However, you can first do that (as described above)
and then buy some real-world cash for your Linden Dollars. It is not necessary to open a Second Life account to do this.
Just go to the corresponding exchange page
(e.g. USD/SLL for USD, EUR/SLL for EUR), and buy the real-world currency for the Linden Dollars. Then proceed to the "withdraw" page
and send the money using one of the supported withdrawal methods:

==Fees==
VirWoX charges 50 SLL (currently about 0.02 BTC) plus 2.9% for BTC/SLL market orders. The fee for limit orders depends on the previous trading volume of the account, and varies between 0.78% and 3.9%<ref>[https://www.virwox.com/help.php#_Commissions_and_Discounts VirWoX Fees]</ref>.

VirWoX charges 0.02 BTC for BTC withdrawals. Deposits in BTC are free.

==Limits and Restrictions==

Because of the risks involved, VirWoX restricts deposits via PayPal and Moneybookers (i.e. Credit/Debit Cards) depending on the age of the account. These limits have become increasingly strict. As of February 26, 2012, there are 5 different limit tiers as opposed to the original 3.

{| class="wikitable" style="width: auto; text-align: center; table-layout: fixed;"

|}

Another quite serious restriction is that trades are limited to whole units. E.g. you can only trade whole EUR to Linden Dollars (SLL). Even bigger is the problem that you can only buy whole bitcoins. Since one bitcoin is now worth a 4-digit amount of SLL this is a really big restriction - you'll quite probably end up with a bigger rest of SLL and have to spend additional money to use this rest.

This will create a unique bitcoin address associated with your account. You then send the bitcoins you wish to sell to this address.

====For Linden Dollars====

To exchange bitcoins to Linden Dollars, go to the page "Exchange BTC/SLL", and enter an order to sell your bitcoins.
Depending on your order (Market or Limit), this will be executed instantly or at some later time.
You may then withdraw the Linden Dollars to your Second Life avatar or continue as described below.

====For other currencies (USD, EUR, etc.)====

Technically, VirWoX only supports to sell BTC for Linden Dollars. However, you can first do that (as described above)
and then buy some real-world cash for your Linden Dollars. It is not necessary to open a Scond Life account to do this.
Just go to the corresponding exchange page
(e.g. USD/SLL for USD, EUR/SLL for EUR), and buy the real-world currency for the Linden Dollars. Then proceed to the "withdraw" page
and send the money using one of the supported withdrawal methods:

==Fees==
VirWoX charges 50 SLL (currently about 0.02 BTC) plus 1% for BTC/SLL market orders. The fee for limit orders depends on the previous trading volume of the account, and varies between 0.78% and 3.9%<ref>[https://www.virwox.com/help.php#_Commissions_and_Discounts VirWoX Fees]</ref>.

VirWoX charges 0.02 BTC for BTC withdrawals. Deposits in BTC are free.

==Limits and Restrictions==

Because of the risks involved, VirWoX restricts deposits via PayPal and Moneybookers (i.e. Credit/Debit Cards) depending on the age of the account. Initially you can deposit only 60 EUR (or 84 USD) per day. This limit grows to 500 EUR or 700 USD per day after 30 days<ref>[https://www.virwox.com/help.php#_Levels_and_Limits Levels and Limits]</ref>. Higher limits are available on request.

Another quite serious restriction is that trades are limited to whole units. E.g. you can only trade whole EUR to Linden Dollars (SLL). Even bigger is the problem that you can only buy whole bitcoins. Since one bitcoin is now worth a 4-digit amount of SLL this is a really big restriction - you'll quite probably end up with a bigger rest of SLL and have to spend additional money to use this rest.

Virwox: added NETELLER to VirWoX deposit/withdrawal methods

One issue currently facing a newcomer to bitcoin is, how do I get some? While there is the [[bitcoin faucet]] that can get you started with a small fraction of a coin, when getting larger amounts the user faces an abundance of choice. This page will cut through the clutter, and help direct you to the right exchanger for your needs.

==Large amounts==

For large amounts of bitcoin (USD 1000 or more), you probably would get the best rate if you deposit funds via bank wire, ACH, Euro bank transfer, or via [[Liberty Reserve]] into a major exchange.
