They are useless!!! Their whole bussiness model is crap. Customer service is crap. Return something is a massive headace...and it costs you R120...
 
dealing with firstshop is very frustrating and i would advise anyone not to use them.....they make it sound like its not their fault at all that the site said stock and they dont actually have stock.

When they deliver to you, you cannot track the package because their courier company does not have the "facilities". But when you return something it costs you R120 and they use RAM?!?!

I had same issue with stock availability...claiming they have it in store, only to ship it 4 days later.

Again, their support is even worse.

Stay clear of Firstshop/FirstTech

Well if they visit your site for Russian porn then you can claim success?

But anyway what has this got to do with the topic?

i would also like to know.

also, i always thought that bitcoins are anonymous , but when i tried to buy some a few month ago i was asked a lot of personal details, and i see luno requires all kind of differnt verifications....
 
As I understand it, the issue is when you transfer from Luno to your local bank account.

Been discussed on PW numerous times.

First luno and Sars they do declare to Sars so when btc becomes legislative guess who Sars have a little waiting list on?

Second luno is an exchange meaning your coins ain't safe. They can be hacked and you can lose it all.

Here is a good post about wallets and how they work.

Only use Luno when you want to cash out, and then like with any type of income pay your income tax on it, the key is to only use what you need and keep the rest of your coins in a wallet for the future. I just last week cashed some out for the very first time for some extra spending money, but I paid my taxes, rather safe than sorry, I still want to know the tax implications on a BTC/visa debit card if any.
