Low fee perhaps?
Brilliant fucking deduction there, you one-line wonder.

I didn't look to see what the fee was, but lately it hasn't even mattered.  Transactions are getting stuck with HUGE fees.  Yes, it sucks and this is why it's not worth it to buy anything with bitcoin.  God forbid you should need medicine or some other thing that's immediately necessary (coffee, even).  You'd be waiting in a casket by the time it shipped.  

Better seek out one of these transaction accelerators.  I used one in the services section from a guy by the name of Jimmy-something.  It actually worked pretty quickly, but I don't know if he's still offering the service.

You have sent big amount and pay low fees for BTC16 as too many unconfirmed transactions on the mempool right now, The fastest and cheapest transaction fee is currently 510 satoshis/byte, based on bitcoinfees. So, you need to pay BTC0.05223420 for 10,242 bytes and it will confirmed within minutes or if that amount is too expensive you can try at least a half of it but it will takes days to be confirmed. You can try to accelerate the transaction through viaBTC ( https://pool.viabtc.com/tools/txaccelerator/)

Viabtc is the most used and popular transaction accelerator but it has a threshold and maximum number of people that can accelerate their transactions for free. I have seen this thread which is informative https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2510862.0 so choose and try some of them too.

Try this one:
https://pushtx.btc.com/

This is a transaction accelerator of the powerful chinese mining-pool which is often adds blocks to the blockchain of Bitcoin.

Never heard anything yet about how long do they take to confirm a transaction after charging very high fees, I will still recommend using viabtc or antpool's free transaction accelerator instead of btc.com

the amount sent actually doesn't matter and never will be a matter, the fees are only based on the input and output of the transaction plus the current average fee in the network to get your confirmation faster
