Hey boys and girls-
Has anyone dealt with niburu? His profile is here: http://silkroadvb5piz3r.onion/index.php/silkroad/user/62973. I used his paypal to BTC service on February 11th, and haven't recieved a single BTC, nor a refund, and at this point he has stopped reading my messages and responding to them.
Transaction details:
Date ordered: February 11, 2012, 9:35 am UTC
Date marked shipped: February 13, 2012, 9:59 am UTC
Total amount: 419.75 Euros - $568.08 US Dollars
I filled a paypal dispute a few days ago. I jumped the gun on filling the dispute, I know that, since I filled it a few days after making the transaction. His rating dipped from 97 to 85 overnight, with lots of people reporting problems, so I wanted to move fast, and hopefully get some of my money back. I've told him repeatedly that I'd be happy to drop the dispute if he starts communicating with me, gives me a refund, or delivers the bitcoins.
I've sent him 4 messages over the last two days. He's been online recently, and hasn't read or responded to any of them. According to his profile, he's doing brisk business running an exchange, so he's either selectively scamming me, or he's faking his feedback.
I'm not making any crazy demands, I just want what I paid for.
If there is something I'm missing here niburu, I'd love to hear it. I'm a reasonable guy, just fucking talk to me and we can work something out! I hate making this public, but you're forcing my hand.

I used him last week. I received my bitcoins but he took forever, literally days for a service he claims on his profile he will complete in hours. I sent him a messege and he didn't respond at all. Needless to say, id never use him again
-
Wow, I am in the EXACT same boat as you. I requested $500 to be converted to BTC on Saturday, he invoiced me for $575 on Sunday. I sent the money almost immediately but I haven't heard from him AT ALL. I've messaged him almost half a dozen times with no response what so ever.
I am afraid he's a scammer. I just lost my entire pay check to some low life. I really hope I'm wrong for my sake and yours. Please update this thread if he comes through for you! I will post as well if I receive my funds.

This is to clear Niburu's name and confirming, that HE IS NOT A SCAMMER. I got the full amount back with the explanation that paypal is giving him a hard time because of it.
Kudos to Niburu and many thanks for your honesty!

That's good to hear, but he needs to talk to the rest of us about that. Until then, he's still a scammer in my book.

Send him an email to his info@ address. He replied to me. He didnt reply or read any msg on SR.
Did you not get your Money back yet?

I've used the service of Niburu twice the last days, received the first order within 24 hours and second one in 12 hours. (Ukash > BTC)
-
I did business with this seller and it went smooth. I got $300 worth of bitcoins and they were sent immediately. This was 1-2 weeks ago.

I am posting to update my experience so far with Niburu. Yesterday I received a notice to paypal my purchase had been refunded. After that, I sent Niburu ANOTHER email thanking him for the refund and apologizing for the harsh words. He did respond explaining paypal is giving him a hard time and thanking me for giving you all the full story here on the forums.
Now I do want to mention, this was the first time I heard from him throughout this entire experience. I probably wouldn't do business with him in the future due to the lack of communication, but I DID RECEIVE A REFUND, HE DID NOT SCAM ME.

I know this is somewhat off-topic, but I was just curious: is there a particular reason why people are still using the exchange/paypal/moneypak->BTC route instead of the bank deposit guys? I have recently switched to doing the bank deposits and they are simple as hell, just a tiny bit more expensive, and the turnaround is almost instant. You don't have to show ID or even give the bank your name. So why are people still hassling with all of these conversion vendors?

I had money in paypal, so it was convenient. Next time I'm going to try out the bank deposit thing. Either that, or go back to using Mt Gox.
-
I am still waiting for my money to be converted as well.
-
...and now he has no active listings. I'd say this isn't a good sign for those of us he owes.
Anyone who has any contact information for him, please let me know, either here or via PM.

Nice guy, good communication, quick delivery.
-

I finally got my money back. He initiated a refund through paypal. I WOULD NOT use him in the future, for any reason.
PM me, I'll forward the contact information I have for Niburu.
-
I have used him again since my last post here, twice actually and both times he came through within a couple of hours. Been using NT and MB this time and it worked without a problem. Yes, you will have to identify yourself with those companies but just keep in mind, it is NOT illegal to buy e-currency.
-
Can someone please PM his contact info he is not responding to my messages on SR??
-
Bumping this once again, as I'm interested in trading with ukash as well.
-
I'm not sure what Ukash is but my experience with niburu was not a good one. I had to email him several times for a refund and it wasn't easy to get. I would never use his services again.
