if the price you are selling your bitcoin at is $1355 then it is not an exchange service. at least not by the conventional meaning. it is other methods such as selling bitcoin for paypal. and in that case there is no surprise that price is this high because of the risks involved with this type of exchange.

and besides we are going there in a short while, there is no need to use these services. just wait a while and price will be $1300-$1500 per 1 coin
