It seems like you are just promoting this service but i see something fishy on this as even design of this site looks really cheap. Never gonna trust this with like 90s design.

I'm promoting the site because I asked if there's any reports? lmao, Just like that I see why I found elsewhere to discuss btc.

Also..

For the record, I made a order earlier and it was auto cancelled without a phone call or anything. So not sure about it,definitely seems sketchy.

Well they are using PayPal... If the buyer had a problem or didn't receive the coins they could easily reverse the trade.

never heard about that site, make sure if you already check on "scam accusations" from this forum and other news before you make a decision to that site.

Although the site looks pretty cheap and designed by an amateur, I'd say that the site is legit because we know that if the site scams you, you are able to chargeback and therefore the risk is all on them.

But if you're concerned, try Localbitcoins, paxful or wesellcrypto.

We can't say that this is a legit site just because it is registered by an amateur.. I can't trust a brand new site and can't use them instead of lots of trusted site which I used many times before and I can trust them 100%.
adopting a new site is hard nowadays because lots of scam attempts by previous legit sites and companies. specially bitcoin Industry full of scams, we need to be careful and don't deposit money to a site which is not 100% confirmed.

Since this site is using paypal, if you get scammed, you can easily chargeback the amount you sent to them.

that's in case if they're really charge your balance and don't get you a btc,if the data of your paypal was stolen,lets say,paypal scam page, you'll lost your whole paypal account and have a big chance to be misused to buy something when you don't even know what's going on

that is why it is always much better to not use like this sites where you see suspicious things and site is not a professional also. Even on charge back like what you said if they will steal your details and start to hack your all details.

so it is always to beware about this sites and dont use them.

Is the site taken down or what? It seems that I cannot access it or is it just me? I would have loved to give my comments about this one as well but I can't access it.

The website is up and works just fine here.

But the design is so simple and looks amateur. I wouldn't spend too much of my money on that website. I don't say they are completely untrustworthy but it is better be safe than sorry.

Most of this sites become scams sooner or later. So what ever you do don`t invest to much money, you will regret it later. If you take something be satisfied. Be careful what ever you do, I stay far away from this kind of sites. I saw around this forum and read a lot about such things, and what happened before. Especially when they offer high payments, fast earning, bla, bla.. but in the end choice is yours good luck.

There should be a sticky on this section. If you have to ask whether it's a scam then let's cut the waffle and go straight to yes.

And is everyone really that confident that Paypal are gonna cover their ass? I'm pretty sure there's no buyer protection for digital stuff.

I vote on scam, but one where people put time into it.

It is likely a scam/Ponzi. OP should stay out of it.

Here is my thought the site seemingly  few on words and lacking more details. A website that offer a BTC need to be accurate and legit. It looks fishy in my opinion, no danger from being careful though.
I think this site is only publish this month I deem.

 The guy is selling bitcoin.  How the hell can that be a Ponzi?  Either you get the coin or your don't.

If they use PayPal then problems will come sooner or later.

 I'm not vouching for this guy but he's accepting paypal for bitcoin that's risky when you don't know the buyer.

The look of the website is not professional . I would recommend you should always care about the volume of the amount you use while having a transaction in a new website . Be careful !

Looks so similar to the one you are using as an avatar

I would say be extra careful of both, in fact do not use them at all  ;D

I never heard this site and the sites looks weird.. maybe this is scam site better to don't do something inside that site..
Better to stay away.
According to scamadviser its 95% legit but i don't why they are checking its 
legit..http://www.scamadviser.com/check-website/bitcoinranger.com
If you can buy bitcoin there with paypal i think its safe because you can reverse the payment once they are not give the bitcoins in your wallet..

I definitely see everybody's point insofar as the design of the site being quite a bit behind the times but after looking a bit deeper and seeing that this fella is charging $72.66 for 0.10 btc I'm not entirely sure it's not just a legit "let's see how many people are willing to take it in arse on btc price campaign"
