Title: Coinabul.com, Legit? Post by: BitCoinNewGuy on June 08, 2013, 03:43:24 PM I want to make an order with Coinabul.com:
Are they legit? ??? ??? Anyone had any issues? What should I expect? I live in the United States, and want to pay with BitCoin. I will admit, it is SCARY buying with BitCoin as I can't just call up my credit card company and bitch. Yes, that is right, I want to actually USE my BitCoin for TRADE transactions! [EDIT] Heard some negative things about them and doesn't seem like there is really any posts about that website in months. This is fucking why BitCoin is a joke currency, it's based on trust. It's like giving someone $500 cash and then him telling you "Wait here! I'll be back in 6 hours with your item" and never returns. Title: Re: Coinabul.com, Legit? Post by: fourd00rgtz on June 09, 2013, 12:46:51 AM Highly recommend the link in my signature instead. I too have placed many orders with Coinabul in the past. Often the wait was very long and updates/communication quite poor. Numerous people started placing orders at the high of the market and they became quite behind, but I think eventualy everyone got their orders. Has also been a few missing/damaged orders that got some exposure on here, not sure how those worked out. They are in essense just a middle man who take your BTC and then place an order with someone else to send you what you ordered.
Amagi is a brick and mortar store in Denver that started accepting BTC. Much better mix of people/trust and (exept for during the current shortages) inventory. Title: Re: Coinabul.com, Legit?

Title: Re: Coinabul.com, Legit? Post by: Factory on June 11, 2013, 05:04:52 AM I can not say if they are 100% legit or not- but I can tell you a bit about my dealings with them:
I ordered a very large amount of silver coins and paid for express next day shipping. It took 23 days to receive my silver coins, and during that time I never received a single email or call from Coinabul regarding the delay. The only contact from them were automated emailed regarding the order- despite me emailing support as well as leaving a voicemail every 7-10 days to see what the delay was about. After several months, I am still attempting to get a refund for the additional cost of express shipping- as it was a service that they clearly failed to provide. The only positive thing I can say about Coinabul is that the coins were packaged extremely well and they arrived in perfect condition. |
