The '''Bitcoin Market''' is a [[bitcoin]] [[currency exchange]] site owned and operated by dwdollar. It supports [[PayPal]], Moneybookers, [[Pecunix]], and [[Liberty Reserve]]. Currently, due to PayPal chargeback issues, registration is closed. Users who have gained some trust on the [[Bitcoin forum]] can contact dwdollar for an account. Unlike [[MtGox]], exchanges are done directly between individual users, with Bitcoin Market escrowing the bitcoin funds.
