Has anyone had an issue with international wire transfer when trading BTC? Can it be reversed?

I guess it depends on what country you sent it from and what the nature of the problem is. If it hasn't arrived or gotten lost then it's the bank's problem to sort it out.

i never try it,and i dont think my country have service like wire transafer. but i'm heard on this forum people already use it,and i think its not recomended, too much risk there.

You better get in touch with the bank you used for the wire ASAP. I think if you're American and the funds haven't left your account, you might be able to reverse the transaction.

If your money haven't arrived, than the money will defently come back. Probably they are temporarly on the intermediary banks accounts and there where an issue with your transfer (incorrect recipient bank details, currency control, AML issue, etc). You d better to ask your bank about the transaction status.

I`m not the sender of the wire transfer. I ask from the point of the fund recipient. If I sell BTC for international wire, is there a possibility that I may be charged back?

i have never tried it myself but it is possible.
it also depends on the countries in question and the bank that is being used.

also reversing a wire transfer is not as easy as it might sound like. the person has to provide the bank with enough legitimate evidence of wrong doing in the short window of time and the bank will investigate.

most of the banks investigations are good and nothing like the crappy PayPal chrage-back scam.

It can not be reversed, excepted if the money transfer is missing somewhere, but even then it would be a lot of headache for bank workers  ;)

that is wrong, it can in fact be reversed.
but since it is a bank and they have their customers contact info, they will contact the receiver and tell them there is this request saying you ripped them off and they want their money back what do you have to say to that.

they don't want to lose their customer (receiver) afterall.
