arent there people that do it though? like as a service with a fee..

MoneyPak is easily obtained by scammers (There are people trying to sell MoneyPak at 50 cents on the dollar here on the forum, as an example. So the buyer would have to trust that you aren't a scammer. And being a new account here on the forum (and presumably no trust history on #bitcoin-otc), good luck with that.

If you are in the U.S. (which is the only country where MoneyPak is sold), then you have several options.

If you have a Chase bank location nearby, that's probably among the best. You deposit cash into the account that bitMe.com has set up and buy coins at that exchange. No identification needed.

As far as the logistics, your account at bitMe is an EWallet, and thus you can withdraw the coins to your own wallet, such as at Blockchain.info/wallet:

Other cash methods (in the U.S.):
- http://www.BitInstant.com (Deposit at 7-11, Walmart, CVS, Moneygram, etc.,)
- http://www.BitMe.com (Deposit cash at Chase)
- http://www.BitFloor.com (Deposit cash at Chase or Wells Fargo [temporarily unavailable])

Elsewhere:
- http://www.CAVirtEx.com (Deposit cash at several banks in Canada)
- http://www.Spendbitcoins.com (Deposit cash at a bank in Australia)
- http://BitcoinNordic.com (Purchase CashU or UKash in dozens of countries)
- http://www.BTC-E.com (Deposit cash (USD) at bank locations in Russia)
- http://www.BitNZ.om (Deposit cash (NZD) at back locations in New Zealand)
- http://www.BitInstant.com (Deposit cash in Brazil using Boleto or Banco Recomendito, or in Russia, using Qiwi or Cyberplat.)
- http://www.VirWoX.com (Purchase UKash in dozens of countries with cash, then buy SLL and trade them for BTCs)
- http://www.MercaBit.eu (Purchase UKash, Paysafecard, and others with EUR cash)

Also, Bitcoins Direct will accept cash, but they have a $1,000 minimum order size and recently have been out of coins:

Another method, from anywhere, is to use credit card to buy SLL (Second Life Lindens) through VirWoX, and then trade those for BTCs:

You might just find a trade on #bitcoin-otc for a small amount, to build a trust history:

And doing a local trade might serve you well:
