I'm buying BTC from an ATM so I can convert it into LTC. The ATM's in my area of the US offer BTC only. I'm having issues with Coinbase verification and really don't want to deal with them or any other verification exchange. Particularly when I can just by BTC from an ATM and convert it to LTC faster.
That's where I am at. I need to know what to expect when converting. I hear Changelly is not reliable and can charge up to 10 percent. Shapeshift has issues also from what I read. Is this your experience? What can I expect?
I see what you are trying to do now. You better use/deposit your BTC in regular trade exchange site
Changelly and Shapeshift are automatic instant exchanges which usually charge higher fee than trade exchanges.
I suggest you register on one of many trading sites around, choose the trusted one with no ID verification for basic account
You can read the subforum Trading Discussion, Service Announcements & Service Discussion about them
to familiarize yourself with available trade exchanges and to know their rules and +/- of their services
