With Bitinstant out of the picture, I was looking for a way to buy bitcoins and came across the SR vendor Cheechdeals777. His feedback was good, so I decided to give him a try. He advertises 12 hour turnaround, and his feedback included testimonials of 2 or 3 hour service. His instructions were to simply buy a Moneypak, then buy one of his $0.00 SR listings and include the MP code and amount in the space usually reserved for the address. I started with $400--that was four days ago.
I know SR experienced a slowdown for a couple days, but not four days. And he's neither responding to or even reading my messages, in spite of having logged on every day. He's already cashed the MP code, so it looks like I have zero recourse.
I'm just wondering if other people have had good or bad experiences with him.
-
I'm in the same boat. He cashed my $545 MP then stopped replying and now his page is gone. I feel as if there is nothing we can do at this point.

Ripped me off as well for $250. We have been scammed, gentlemen.
-
I wish there was a way to get this asshole back. All that money was to buy my girl friend mood stabilizers that she needs.

He stole $250 from me as well. There's nothing we can do laties and gents. I'm taking this experience as a learned lesson. I knew this could happen, yet still proceeded all willie nillie. And here I am. No bitcoins, no moneypak, and no drugs. I'm just going to be patient for now on. coinbase is now my hero, even though it takes forever. you guys that lost $500+, thanks for making me feel better about my situation.
Edit: according to SR support staff, there is nothing they can do. I knew this was going to be the response, I just figured I'd ask. I feel as if they should figure out some sort of system to middle man moneypak, vanilla, reloadit trades.
There's no way making a middle man system is that hard.

That would be a good idea. Maybe some day

I went with localbitcoins.com and had an excellent experience. The rate was just under Mt.Gox, but the btc were in my wallet by the time I got back from the bank, and the transfer over to my SR wallet was 15 minutes. The person I bought them from responded to my messages immediately and was nice to deal with. The downside is that they're still more expensive than the SR rate

The piece of shit got me for $480 on a moneypak. He deleted his vendor page. Do I just cancel the order under my order section. It just says processing. If I cancel it, will it hurt my buyer stats at all?
