Long story short I need a couple SBD to test something out and it's proving a hassle for me to get my hands on it. Since it takes a long time for me to get approved to buy crpyto of any sort in the local exchanges where I'm from not to mention a long list of KYC norms, I was wondering if it's possible to directly buy SBD for usd since I only need a small amount.
Cheers,
I do not believe this is possible. You can use a creditcard to buy Bitcoin at an exchange like GDAX and transfer this to either Poloniex or Bittrex to buy SBD. However you will pay a large % fee on the credit card transaction and on the Bitcoin transaction cost.
ah, thanks for the info.
