Title: BTCPal - Review from multiple-time customer
Post by: kval on January 14, 2012, 05:40 pm
After concluding two transactions with BTCPal I can honestly say that his service is the best I've seen on SR.
He charges a 10% service fee which seems to deter many buyers, but he uses the REAL btc exchange rate, not the hyper-inflated rate in use by BTCBuddy and the like. Even at a MoneyPak value of less than $100 US, his rates are still better than other vendors. Not to mention he offers to match any deal elsewhere on SR. My first order was through the SR message system, but my second was through TorChat where he stayed online and walked me through every step of the transaction. Very affable person as well.

TL;DR
10% charge on the REAL exchange rate
Delivery within minutes of placing the order
Very nice seller

BTCBuddy was using an exchange rate of $7.75:1btc, BTCPal charges a 10% interest on the REAL (today was 6.53)

let's try to push the other vendors to lower their rates to something a little more reasonable by checking other prices instead of buying from the most popular.

if you're reading this BTCPal, thanks!

I agree that he's great to work with.  He gave me a free transaction on my first go-round and when he mistakenly charged me the 10% he made it right within minutes of the mistake.  A few days later I did another deal and it was flawless and fast.

He's legit, communicates well, priced right and fast. 0_o

Definitely the best exchanger I've dealt with on SR.

The longest transaction has taken about an hour, whereas other exchangers have taken as long as a day and a half.

He'll usually have the BTC in your account within 30-40 mins in my experience, especially in the evenings.
