For small amounts you can buy Linden $ using credit card then change them for BTC at VirWoX or The Rock. That is how I got my first few BTC in the end.
This is indeed the way. However I would not recommend this for high volume because you end up with triple transaction fees.
- You pay 3% - 20% depending on deposit method.
- You pay transaction fees for exchanging USD/EUR to Linden $
- You pay transaction fees for exchanging Linden $ to BTC
Just my two mBtc
