The two transactions in question are https://blockchain.info/tx/ecbc2167f0d3d5abf5f115e51d98521818358a24cff895024997ed59f2726a54 and https://blockchain.info/tx/b4f4d65f22456a1c45b5b0d027cf08af94b53ac684d9f340ae36c0fe808135c0

The issue is the low transaction fee. Both pay a fee of ~40 satoshis/byte. The current recommended fee is ~120 satoshis/byte according to http://bitcoinfees.21.co/.

Since you are using web wallets your options are limited. You can either wait and hope it confirms, or contact a miner to help you.

For the latter option, you can contact the users macbook-air (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=pm;sa=send;u=358020) and Quickseller (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=pm;sa=send;u=358020). You can also try using this tool: https://www.viabtc.com/tools/txaccelerator/
