hey another kiwi on steemit sweet - i brought off another user here on steemit paid via paypal which incurs a $10 fee - i probably paid a little more than market value but i got it straight away
best way to buy at the moment would be get some Bitcoin and exchange into steem via blocktrades
i have used localbitcoins before to buy bitcoin then used blocktrades and it turned up in my wallet in about 20 mins
hope this helps
