    Hi,

    I've tried a few ways, including BTC-e, but the payment systems that they use are not working or are incompatible.

    Is there any simple western site, e.g. EU or US site that allows Litecoin trade? A site that accepts bank cards and/or PayPal?

    Thanks! :D

    You think so? I thought it was pretty standard. Isn't btc-e .2% ?

    I haven't looked into btc or ltc.
    Is it just a matter of opening an account and transferring funds via PayPal and we are away with ltc? Or is there a lot more technical computer stuff needed for my simple brain?

    its mostly the same principle as bitcoin. use litecoin-qt, encrypt your wallet and back it up. once you keep it safe and secure its not much more technical than transferring coins to your wallet.

    Nice site, based in Asia, but huge spreads and high price on BTC and LTC - if compared to Bitstamp and BTC-e.
