It is a very very commonly used site and have had only few issues. I have no problem saying it's perfectly safe. Just know what you're doing the first few times if you're new to bitcoin.

If you are doing a bank deposit trade, make sure it's someone with very high feedback and also make sure you read and understand the seller's rules before requesting. Online and bank payment transactions are very different from in-person with how escrow is funded initially.

The "100%/100+" pro traders are as trustworthy as a bank.

I believe it is, it's the only way I have bought bit coins, it seems very reliable so far and I have bought £100's worth of BTC from lots of different users and had no problems. Just make sure that the person you are trying to make a trade with is online, or you'll have to wait a while.
