| ==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. The following exchanges are currently available that take currency deposits:
| |
| | |
| * [[MtGox]]
| |
| * [[Bitcoin Central]]
| |
| * Other [[:Category:Exchanges|Exchanges]]

| | |
| ==Small amounts==
| |
| | |
| For smaller amounts, bank transfer fees or Liberty Reserve conversion fees are usually too 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.
| |
| * [http://bitcoin-otc.com bitcoin-otc] IRC trading marketplace will usually have people willing to deal for small and larger amounts using various payment methods, including [[PayPal]], [[Dwolla]], Linden Dollars, etc.
