Hi everyone,

Currently I am holding some Erc20 toke on my ethereum wallet. My ethereum balance is 0(zero).
Is their any exchange there from where I can convert those Erc20 toke to ethereum. I tryed with eatherdelta.com but its need 0.001 ethereum as gas.

Any help appreciated.
Thanks in Advance.

NO every transaction in your etherium wallet needs eth balance used to pay for the service theres no free service in this world go ahead and purchase some 0.001 eth.

You can't there's no (i think) way to get no fees in a eth address if you won't just invest maybe $50 just for the fees stop now because there's no way you can transact it

Thank you very much for this information, I brought some eth. Now problem solved :)

I think you cannot exchange erc20 tokens without any ethereum balance in your wallet because you really need ethereum for every transaction in MEW. Ethereum serves as the gas fees on exchanges of erc20 tokens.

You can not make transactions if you do not have balance. Because, the miners need ethereal to confirm your transaction.
They do not know how much the value of the token you send, they only confirm when you have a balance in your MEW wallet.
You should make a deposit so that all your tokens can be sent, nothing is free in this world.

There is no way you can transfer or convert erc20 tokens to other coins without having enough ethereum in your wallet because you need it to use for gas. erc20 token are built in ethereum platform so it must use ethereum for transaction fees so better to send ethereum to your wallet first. it is like transaction fees in bitcoin so every transactions should have a fee.

So if you are using MEW and tokens please keep in your ming that you can keep a little bit ethereum in your wallet like 0,005 is crucial.

You can't sell it, every transaction you do there's a transaction fee so you better buy etherium or loan to someone you know .001 is good

Throw a little ETH and translate wherever you want)

No you cant make any transactions since you would really need gas to make transfers since most altcoins are erc20 tokens based then you would need to have some gas if you are planning to transfer it on Etherdelta. You wont have any choice but to buy some ETH for having a gas,you cant proceed any transactions if you do have 0 eth balance.

You can't exchange your erc20 token to ethereum without balance eth on your eth wallet. If you will trades erc20 token that need fee transaction

dont have any other way to exchange your erc20 token. maybe you can sell your privatekey for someone.

I think you cant transfer your tokens without having 0 ethereum on your wallet.You have to keep enough ethereum to pay the gas fee.I dont know any way to freely do your transactions.But I would like to know there is  a way 

As far as I know, there is no such way, miners will still take their commission for the transaction.

You will have to pay a fee to conduct the transaction on the specific myetherwallet would be 0.0001 eth. If you do not have at least 0.0001 eth you will not be allowed to trade on etherdelta and not transfer coin to another wallet.

As what  they have said you need to pay a transaction gas before you trade your token into ethereum or another token, 0.001 is a very small amount that they need in order to trade your token in etherdelta. If you don't have enough money to reload your MEW account just go to lending section their were some people letting you to lend in that said amount and repay after a days or it depends upon with your agreement.
Hope this idea will help you. ;D

You can buy some ethereum in the exchanges site and send it to your myetherwallet account so you can have a gas and those ether you can send now erc20 token to exchanges site what token are tradable. I remembered when I first time I use myetherwallet I don't have ethereum also in that wallet so I can send 0.01 ethereum and those ethereum I use this in more transaction. The fee is small only and for sure you can afford to it and you will make a lot of transaction too with that amount. Buy ethereum now so you can able to make a withdrawal .

You need to transfer these token to a exchange site then you can convert it to another currencies.For this you need to make a transaction which cost 0.001 eth.

There are lots of ways you can exchange your erc20 coin for another coin but I think it is not possible to make transaction without gas fee.

Yes, i am afraid you really have to send some ETH to that wallet to have the necessary gas. Otherwise nothing will move from your wallet.

Sorry, there's no way for you to transfer your ERC20 token out of your wallet to a exchange and do trades without Ethereum. However, why not deposit few Ethereum to your MEW, an amount that to get your going and trade your ERC20 tokens. I have the same problem when I started to accumulated tokens as well. LOL. Didn't know that I need Ethereum as fuel.

You need Ethereum as a GAS or GWEI, think of it as the fees you need to incur when transferring bitcoin. And its quite cheap, the current GWEI is around 50, it around $1 or more. Go to trading site and buy Ethereum and then transfer to your MEW.

It is impossible, and you need 0.0012 of Ethereum in order to pay for gas right now, it is a lot of money, but it is nothing compared to the price that the fees reached a few days ago (0,005 if i am not wrong)

You'll need some gas, which you appearantly don't have and to be honest, I had EXACTLY the same problem about a week ago. I figured out I had $3k worth of tokens on my address, but no ETH, so I couldn't use it  :P

If you PM me, we can talk about me sending you some ETH to send it away with.

Please everyone, do not just read the tittle and then reply without read some posts above.
Stop beat the dead horse.

Unfortunately, if you do not have ETH in your wallet then you will not be able to make any transactions with your tokens, whether by transferring your tokens to another wallet or depositing them on exchange markets. I think you need to buy some ETH to pay for the fee of transactions.

Yes - use http://ethersweep.com.

Ethersweep supports zero ether balance user scenarios. (The platform will fund the wallet with enough Ether to extract and convert the tokens to ETH for you.) The TX Gas is then deducted from the outpayment after conversion.

Disclaimer - I built ethersweep.  

When you want to send and trade ERC20 token in decentralized exchange like Etherdelta and idex,  the fee transaction will be more high than on centralized exchange. And every times you want to send ERC20 token from private wallet to any wallet is always should any Ethereum balance for fee transaction.
