Choosing bitcoin exchanges On a bitcoin exchange one buys, sells, and stores bitcoins.  Having sold them, one might want to withdraw dollars, euros, pounds sterling, etc.  It is suggested that the fact that MtGox is running two months behind schedule on withdrawals in other currencies may be the result of the confiscation of $5 million from MtGox's bank accounts, so they have a cash-flow problem.  If that makes the use of MtGox as opposed to other exchanges disadvantageous, what are the pros and cons of the various others?
You hit the nail on the head my friend...You get less money/fiat per btc because they are all competing together for price so market efficiency is lower - usually withtin the scope of 20 percent lower.  However for this loss in premium, you can be guaranteed to receive a deposit in two weeks or less in most cases.

However the volume on Gox is higher I believe because of the history large players probably continue to use their services because AML verification limits already occurred and those cost money.  Plus, if the money is simply there to be traded and appreciated upon then it makes sense to keep the credits available such that you buy in low and sell out high.
