"something questionable happened and i dont quite believe you sir. think you took my 800 though i can't prove a damn thing. wont be going through you again."
Now, I've used BTC Buddy in the past and never had a problem. Could the person who wrote this elaborate? Or BTC Buddy could you let us know what went down here?
-
I'd be willing to bet the buyer is trolling or is twisting the story. BTC Buddy's feedback speaks for itself.
-
I just happened to use a $305 moneypak order w/ BTCbuddy and It's been about 3 days and no response. Although, this is the only bad thing I've seen EVER and i understand it takes a while to get them. I'll update this topic most hopefully in BTCbuddies favor as he does seem genuinely one of the best sellers on SR.
-
You're likely right. BTC Buddy's record is stellar and my personal experience with him was fantastic. Still it might behoove him to respond to let us know exactly what this guy is talking about.
And yeah 312 let us know when he puts it though.
-
that seems to be the case with most of these btc vendors, 312. too much demand. it took me a week to get $265 exchanged and even longer if I didn't happy to get lucky with BTCpal

BTCbuddy is a smartass but hes honest at least

In my opinion it's never a good idea to do a large amount like $800 all in one transaction. Even if the vendor is 100% honest, there are too many things that could go wrong. Sure, if you do it in smaller increments, you're going to have to pay more overall since fees tend to decrease for larger amounts, but it's worth it for safety, security and peace of mind. Just my .02 BTC.
Would be nice to hear more about this on the forums. I think there should be a link to the forums when you're leaving feedback, encouraging people to also leave feedback on the forums. They're a very important part of the community and not enough people participate.
That said, I'm sure there's got to be a reasonable explanation. Many people have had perfect transactions with BTC Buddy.

Btc Buddy has been my number one go to guy since I've joined SR, I've used him literally more times that I can even try to remember but it has been many. I've exchanged a good couple grand with him and I can tell you from experience that his is the most honest guy you will come across. In fact I was in need of coin the other day so I sent him a MP for $300, knowing full and well he was out of coin, but I am a paranoid guy and I would feel uneasy using anyone else. After not seeing any coin for a about a day, I emailed him for a quick update, which he is more than happy to give, being the friendly and helpful guy that he is. Told me it would take some more time, which I was happy to wait for the best service available on SR. I signed on check on some listings bout 9 this morning and low and behold I have my coin, quicker than I had anticipated! And I'll tell you that if your a loyal repeat customer then your wait is well worth it, at least mine was cause that was an exceptionally generous rate :)
I would trust him with 800, 8000, or 8000000 cause you will get your coin with btc buddy. Every single prior exchange up until this weekend, I had gotten coin from him in SECONDS!
Stuff happens sometimes, if he can't get coin yet then he can't get coin yet, so what, if your patient you WILL be taken care of, I guaran-damn-tee it...
And yes I'm over stimulated and typed that in under a minute :^D

Yeah, true. I think a good rule of thumb in general on SR is never make a transaction for an amount that's more then you can afford to lose. I came very close to losing a couple hundred to CFMF but luckily wound up not ordering from him on the day I was planning to.
Again, I posted this not to say BTC Buddy was a problem, but to just give him a chance to let us know what this guy's deal was.
-
I sent him a quick message so things may be cleared up.
-
BTC Buddy is only human so he may make a few mistakes here and there in terms of not getting to you on time. But he will always pull through. BTCBuddy is the best on sr

I was trying to exchange MP with three exchangers for three days and no one came thru. I used to be able to exchange MP in minutes. But I think MP had made some kind of change where you can only cash so many MP a day. I'm not really sure. But, I ended up cashing out my MP on my debit card. Went to get-bitcoin.com made an order to deposit some cash in a bank account. I got my bitcoin in 14 hrs. on 5% fee. Screw these MP exchangers on SR. They are unreliable. After a little research apparently you can get bitcoins within an hour thru bitinstant.com (supposedly, I have'nt tried yet but next time I will).

BTCBuddy delivered yesterday with a most fair price.
He also said he saw the thread and refused to comment to aviod a flame war. But he said that this person sent his card number to 3 different vendors.... and still end up giving him BTC for what was on the card. Also, i've seen other threads discrediting BTCpal for the same thing.
Buy the bitcoins yourself or don't give them the code until it's in transit.
totally legit, served me well in harsh times.
-
I've done numerous exchanges with BTC Buddy and never had trouble. Most were small in the $100 to $200 range, but I did $300 a few days ago and had the BTC in hours.
-
He has 500+ transactions guys, He's trusted as like the owner, or a mod. Don't worry, the other day he told me he was broke so he couldn't do a trade. If your worried about your MP, just cash it into a paypal account of yours.
