SR forum, I was hoping you could give me an insight on if BTCpal is a legitimate seller. I've read his reviews but I would like to read a more personal review with him. So if you could help me out thanks. I just find bitcoin buying strenuous, so I would love a safe secure way of obtaining them
-
I'm new here. I just did my first bitcoin transaction with btcpal. I used a moneypak and he charges less than the other vendors for moneypak that I saw.
I was nervous too, I asked him some questions, he was helpful, and I'll be back to him for my moneypak needs. Plus he was fast.
Thanks to him I'll have my first two orders sometime in the near future :)

He is the best Moneypak to BTC exchanger on SR, imo. I've gone through him over a dozen times and the LONGEST it's ever taken was about 12 hours when BTC was very scarce. It usually takes him less than 2 hours in my experience.
His price is also the best: only 10%. All the other exchangers charge more.
He's very straightforward, and will only empty the moneypak if he's about to send you coins immediately. Also, if you need coins ASAP, you can PM him and he's very responsive, even when he's busy with a flood of orders, he'll let you know exactly what's going on and if he'll be able to fill your order within an hour or two, or if there's a long wait. I also recommend checking his vendor page to see if there's a queue (which tells you how many people are in line ahead of you waiting for him to exchange BTC for them)
You can definitely rely on BTCPal to get you coins quicker than any of the other exchangers ( I know because I've tried them all before BTCPal came around ). He is truly a valuable asset to SR.

I've only done a MP exchange with him once, but everything went great. The next time i feel like doing a MP i'm definitely going back to BTCpal
-
Oh yeah man, he is great. Best prices, nicest guy, and usually very quick. Never taken more than a day or two, I have purchased from him 3 or 4 times. One time a $400 MP card. Feel very comfortable using BTCpal. He is the best!
-
Heard from the guy two or three times before an order. then when i sent the mp and placed an order he stopped responding... hmmmmmmmmmm ???

I sent him mp saturday, but I think he was gone. Sent him pm. He took a while in replying so I contacted btc buddy, and he came thru: btc pal contacted me sunday and said he would be getting on it. If I don't hear anything more by this evening I'll post here, but he's always been a decent guy, and came thru eventually.
He should be getting mine done here shortly, and I'll post when he does....or, of course, if he doesn't :'(

I think this guy probably does just enough proper transactions to stay off the radar, as well as make up his own feedback. Sent him my mp on fri and havent heard a word from him since. And it doesn't help that he's been ignoring my messages. Not looking very good at all!

I think he had some family troubles Sunday, but I just pm'ed him, see what's up. I've not heard of him doing people wrong, like all btc vendors he can get delayed...

Our business should have been over and done with by Sunday.. days before these "family problems." Delays are fine but there's absolutely no reason to keep me in the dark about it. You can tell me up front that there will be delays, it's not a big deal. It only takes about two seconds to say "hey, gimme a couple days." But when you take my money then choose not to either confirm my order or respond to my pm's it makes me a tad suspicious. Don't claim to be professional when you do nothing but ignore your customer!

EDIT: He made everything right, and put the btc in my account. I feel bad, but I had not heard from him since my saturday order, but in my case, it appears there was just some sort of communication breakdown.
-
And nobody will disable his account? I know it's too late for myself to keep from getting scammed but I hate to see this happen to more people.

No, I think in my case it was just a lost message or a miscommunication, as as soon as I started freaking out, he contacted me, and sent the btc. I believe the guy...lately there's just been a lot of problems, and anybody--like me--who purchased large quantity from Tony76 is jumpy. BTC Pal did alright, so I've no grounds for complaint. Best wishes, I know what it's like....Try contacting him again, as he's back now, and seems to have straightened up the problem.

Glad you got it. I'm not so convinced he's 100% honest, though. Any other decent exchangers worth a shot?

Yeah, he kind of came out of the blue fixed it for me and huecityboy, and I was pretty upset over the whole 'tony76' thing, so I figured he did me right, I'd move on...
Another exchanger: I've always used btc Buddy, and he's quick and friendly...we get along great, and I've done several transactions with him, over $500, did one tonite, I mean, tell him I sent you, he'll laugh...but he comes thru...said he had a bunch of btc at hand, only took about 20 minutes...

Will do, thanks 8)
