How can I buy bitcoins using Western Union (October 2012)? I would like to use Western Union to buy some Bitcoins. I have carefully read Bitcoin's wiki page about buying Bitcoins now I'm after users' input about which service they would recommend. 
There's a lot of services and I am just after the quickest and safest (like everyone I guess). Could, you guys, recommend a service you find to be the best please?
Western Union is a hassle and is expensive.   Bitcoins Direct was accepting WU payments until just a couple days ago.  In the U.S., about the last exchange to accept WU (USD) for bitcoins is:

In the EU there is an exchange that accepts WU (EUR):

There are also some others.  For instance:

As far as other options, the factors relevant to providing the right advice include:


Where are you located (country)?
How much are you looking to buy?
What payment methods do you have available?
How soon do you need access to the proceeds?
Is privacy important?
