Trading Questions

Q. Is there a limit to open orders per account?

Yes, 200.

Q. How are people submitting the same order on all currency trading books?

They aren't. There is only one order book, the orders you see on one currency specific order book are also on all currency order books. There is a 2.5% currency conversion fee (added into the price). Eg. If someone buys in GBP from someone selling their BTC in EUR then the price of the EUR order appears in the order book as GBP+2.5%.

Q. How long does it take to receive money when withdrawing using SEPA?

The limits on mtgox's polish bank account limit the volume of SEPA transfers they do, so you might be stuck in the queue for a while, especially with larger transfers. If you need the money fast, use international transfer option.

Verification

Q. How do I verify with no utility bills?

A "certificate of residence" would do in this instance. If it is not in english, it may require an official translation to be accompanied with it.
