Title: Not recieving bitcoins after purchasing
Post by: Eajry on September 10, 2012, 11:50:39 PM
Any help will recieve bitcoins as soon as a solution is figured out.


Went to Wal-mart like I had (previously successful 4 times now) by Moneygram to Zipzap (a partner of Bitinstant).  Sent ~$127.00 USD.

Recieved Confirmation from bitinstant/zipzap that the funds had been sent, to the same address I've used multiple times.

Checked my blockchain wallet.  No recieved funds - No pending transactions - and of course, no confirmations because no transaction



I do not understand what the hell is going on.  I'm so pissed.  Its been a few hours, and I've seen the money appear in my wallet by the time I got home (less than 5 minutes).

Just PM'ed Yankee.

Couldn't send to user "Gareth" and couldn't find him in the search database.

I really don't understand how this is going on and I'm fearing I wont get the funds back.

Haven't received the bitcoins yet, but I've at least got some peace of mind that the transaction passed hands correctly - and that it's just taking time to process still.  So, a lot less stomach pains >.<

Will update once its fully resolved.  And thanks Yankee for your patience with me and all the help.

The same thing happened to me this weekend with BitInstant.  They got it sorted out, but it took about a day.

I've never used bitinstant, but it seems to have a pretty damn good reputation from what i've read on various sites

It's probably just a mistake

Honestly it was probably a problem with the cashier. Cashiers, especially at Wal-Mart are not particularly motivated or knowledgeable. I always have to make clear that I'm making an EXPRESS payment. Usually a manager has to come over. They ask my name and its already set-up. If the cashier asks how much money you are sending, SOMETHING IS WRONG.
So I guess my advice is in the future make sure you tell the cashier you are making an EXPRESS PAYMENT. The cashier probably won't know how to handle this, so ask for a manager if you need to. The easy way to make sure you did it right is that you never tell the cashier how much you are making a payment for-since its express payment your name should already be in the system!

You only need one post to be able to PM.  Clearly you now have one post, or I wouldn't have anything to respond to. Therefore, you can now PM Yankee.
