What happened::
Unfortunately I can confirm that this site is a total scam. Yes, at first they can do few nice exchanges for you to get some trust. I personally got 2, paid with skrill: first 0.1 btc came to me in one hour, second in 5 minutes. But then you just get scammed. On the third attempt they've got my $49.2 payment for 0.1 btc, didn't send it to me and just stopped answering my email messages. Their "24/7 support" is always offline on the site. They claimed to have automated transaction system - but it's obviously not. So be warned.

It's been 3 days already. Is there a way to reverse that skrill payment from their account?

The Mailtrack green ticks show that it's been read 2 times but they keep silence since then.

Additional Notes: I advise you to not deal with this site.

As far as i know skrill is reversible payment method and you should be able try.
Maybe you can make a chargeback request, also try to contact the skrill support.

I think I became a victim of scammers. I just decided to try a new site of selling Bitcoins http://buybitcoins.io
The first few transactions were successful, but it wasn't 1-12 hours as stated on site. It was one or two days.
Later I sent bigger sum of money and received nothing from them. Their support is always offline, and if not, anyway never respond.
I wrote many messages to their email and received nonsense answers:

Now they ignore my messages and I'd like to take more radical measures
