| ==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 [http://www.libertyreserve.com/ Liberty Reserve] into a major exchange. The following exchanges are currently available that take currency deposits:
| |
| * [https://mtgox.com MtGox]
| |
| * [https://bitcoin-central.net/ Bitcoin Central]
| |
| | |
| ==Small amounts==
| |
| | |
| For smaller amounts, bank transfer fees or Liberty Reserve conversion fees are usually to expensive. Thus other methods are usually a better choice. The following exchanges will enable you to acquire smaller amounts of bitcoin at reasonable rates:
| |
| * [http://coinpal.ndrix.com/ Coinpal] accepts PayPal for purchases of small lots of bitcoin.
| |
| * [https://www.bitcoin4cash.com/ bitcoin4cash] will sell you bitcoins in exchange for cash in the mail.
