That looks great, Ill check it out and see what its all about. Thank you!!

and yep you guessed it.  coinbase has not responded yet.

So has anyone used Localbitcoins.com?

I love their security feature of google auth.

Has anyone used their Escrow Service??


And guess what still no word from Coinbase.......now I'm pissed.

Yeah, I've had to cease the sales of BTC to individuals to that very nature.  I've used CampBX and loved it till DWOLLA banned me from using their service because of BTC. 

I wonder if Coinbase is in that stage, if so, that blows...

Mind you, all of my clients have been extremely happy with my service and appraise of what i have done for them.  However, I got screwed (attempted and failed) by one individual that tried a chargeback, I then immediately shut everything down and have been seeking a "better" way....I'm on the verge of that, but that's not the issue at hand.....

The issue at hand is "Coinbase" not living up to the dates they provide for depositing CASH money into accounts and looking over previous sales and stating that it released, me providing a bill statement from my bank and then not hearing from them for an entire day (today).  Very Not Cool. 

Yep, I've purchased a few times and I've received BTC a day earlier than projected. 

Even have sold a few with successful deposits.


I guess my biggest worry is this:  I sold those BTC on Jan 24th and was supposed to receive funds into my account on Jan29th...I waited a day later giving them a little slack before I said anything to refrain from looking like a jerk.

Well, a day goes by and nothing was said.....Not cool.

So I send a friendly EMAIL and stated my case...

(previous to this I sold more BTC on Jan 26th)

they repsonded with "We're sorry, we went ahead and released that because "I WAS FLAGGED".....I have not heard as to why I was "flagged" and I have no idea what that means, and I can't seem to get an answer about that.

Well, they released the funds....but they released the funds from the Jan 26th sale two days earlier than they should have....they completely looked over the two previous sales from Jan 24th.....

Now I can't get a response from them and they are stating that the funds released, which is bull or my bank is being total jerk faces and not saying anything about any "denied" deposits......AMEX is fairly good about keeping me informed about my account....

Either way, I have requested to either pay my happy ass or refund my BTC so I can take my Biz elsewhere. 

Improper responses and NO response at all for an entire day for this kind of issue is unprofessional and can create a very bad rep for a new emerging market.

Ok,

To answer all questions.

I verified with deposits, phone, and email.

I apologize for the typo, it should have said $$$.  My bad. 


Do you guys know any other solid exchanges that promise a date and follow through with it.


Like I said, I have loved Coinbase till now, and these issues are the severe issues that make them accountable for very improper behavior.

I sold about 3 bitcoins Jan 24th and was told I was going to receive $Money USD on Jan 29th.  Its now almost the 2nd of Feb and still no funds in my account.  Im kind of freaking out. Anyone else have these issues? And is there a better "exchange" out there?  Dont get me wrong Ive liked Coinbase up to this point...and Im extremely disappointed.

Thanks for any help. Any valuable help will be tipped kindly.

Thanks. I've read that.

I appreciate your concern for me not being able to read though.

I want to thank everybody for their support, suggestions, and comments.  I am here to help you in any way I can and will help support a good cause.  And with your support we can make things a lot easier!

Thanks guys!

You are very welcome!! And thank you very much!!  I needed a system like Dwolla and Dwolla SHUT ME DOWN...so I did some digging and found AMEX policies to be a lot better for my needs.  Plus its the exact same thing as dwolla and AMEX has been established for a very long time.

I will be happy to serve you in the future! Thank you!

You are absolutely right, but with my limits right now, I don't have a necessary need for the biz account yet.  I'm sure it'll come to that soon enough.

Thank you for your interest!

I will have that set up by this weekend!  Thank you for your interest!

Thats awesome advice!! Thank you very much!!!

I've thought about moneygram and I am heavily considering it!

Thank you for you interest and advice!  I take everything I can get and use it!!  I really do appreciate it!

I agree to a certain extent...i spoke to AMEX about their policies.  They said it is virtually impossible to chargeback anything and with the invoices I have providing proof of purchase with invoices i send out confirming charges to their email address.  I'm fairly protected with their service.  I try not worry and speculate on terrible people.  I know they are out there.  I'm not a millionaire or anything, I'm just here to help people get what they need without having to providing banking information to businesses that are too new to trust.  I do that for them, I take that risk.

with serve I don't need any banking info from anyone.

thank you for your interest!!

I hope to be of service to you!

Yes.  I promise you it is.  No account needed accept through www.Serve.com. You send me a request from my site www.bitcoinroad.com.  I send you request for $$$.  You pay me, I send you BTC in 4 - 5 days.    easy as that.

After your two purchases you become an auto member and get the benefit of having $1.50 fee per trans, instead of $1.99.

I'm building a bigger reserve and limiting my clients at 7BTC per day TOTAL (for all clients which they are ok with).  It has to be limited because of traffic.  If purchases exceed the limit that day requests get pushed to the next day.  Soon it will go up to 10 BTC a day total increasing the flow.

With www.SERVE.com, you fund your personal AMEX(proper establishment) account (3 days or less) then send me the $$$.  In 4 - 5 days I will have your BTC with an invoice sent directly to you, here recently it has taken up to 6 days because of the transition from popmoney to serve.


I have found out with SERVE it is almost IMPOSSIBLE to request a "chargeback" unless it is due to fraud, in which you send a request regarding that you have a secure account and will never request a "chargeback" and you "agree" you will not chargeback so I'm protected, lawyer said it's good, along with my terms and conditions.


My service makes getting BTC easy WITHOUT linking your bank account to an exchange.  There is no need for that unless you are an agent for the people.  There is no need to attach your personal information to an unestablished exchange with your personals.  I take that risk for you, I am that agent.  I am here for the people to keep their identity their own.

Thank you for your interest, I hope to be your BTC agent in the future.

You realize no one is going to touch this one for a long time.

BTC lending is almost ludicrous considering it is almost untraceable with no names attached.

It's hard enough to get someone to trust you for selling BTC and not having a fear of chargebacks....

Best of Luck to you!

Is Bitmit.net down?

I can't seem to access it?

If so, anybody know why??

Thanks!

You're missing the point:

I provide a service to people that DO NOT wish to provide their personal/business/private bank account information to an exchange.

That's it.  It's as simple as that.  Some people don't care if they have to wait "1HR" to 7 days for their coins.  It's a matter of privacy and security.

With www.Serve.com, you provide American Express information that they check, you are providing personal information to an institution that is WELL ESTABLISHED.  HOW WELL ESTABLISHED IS AN EXCHANGE, ever thought about that?  I am the one taking the risk by connecting to an EXCHANGE, so my clients don't have to.  My clients feel a sense of security in their purchasing and a sense of relief to know WHO is working with their money.

That's the problem with society is that we have gone so fast to miss what is so important...human connection........you have NO idea who works at those exchanges, who reallly owns those exchanges, or who really is behind the infrastructure of the exchange.

My friend, I really have thought this through, trust me, I have.  And it works.

I UTILIZE A SERVICE THAT AUTHENTICATES USERS that are verified and that service provides me with their name address and email whence they have sent me money or i have sent a money request via BTC request.  I have clause after clause that protects me from Charge Backs accurate purchase records that provides extensive background and history of the transaction.

Said user sends me money personally to me...I buy for them.  This alleviates any connection to my client to an exchange and that's why my clients don't mind my transaction fees.  My service isn't for everyone, I will admit this.  Someone that has no care that their personal bank information is attached to an exchange would not use my service.

I bet you don't know the name of the person that buys your bitcoins for you.  My clients know my name, my address, my phone number, my facebook is: www.facebook.com/theadambunger, my twitter: www.twitter.com/bitcoinroad.  I'm not out to make a quadrillion dollars, I charge my fee as a SERVICE and it's fair.

It's a more personable experience. 


Your argument about speed....I'll break it down for you with just two examples:

CampBX(based out of Atlanta, GA):
*If exchange account is funded: IMMEDIATE!
*If exchange account is NOT FUNDED...and you use DWOLLA, 6 hrs.  IF DWOLLA isn't funded it takes 2-3 days to fund DWOLLA then you fund your exchange account. So 2-3 days + 6 hours.  Thats FAST!
*If you don't have DWOLLA then you have to FUND by Money Order or Personal Check. 
*Personal Check 2-4 day delivery depending on where you live. + 3 day wait period to clear....so max 6 Days.
*Money Order: First time sending money order 9 days flat+delivery time (2-4 days).  After that it takes 2-3 days to process + delivery time (2-4days)...so again 6 days.
Linked bank account: Optional
Speed: Varies



Coinbase: (based out of )
*Purchase with your ACH withdraw to their Account 5 days FLAT. No sooner, No later.
Linked Bank Account: YES
Speed: Accurately 5 days

those are just two examples.

So how is it any different than purchasing through me than an exchange??  Except you don't give me your bank info. huh?


All I do is purchase from these multitude of Exchanges, which is close to the same speed as you would purchase via their Exchanges. I USE 7 DAYS TO PROTECT ME FROM BEING SUPER LATE on delivery, if delivery is over 7 days, there is NO CHARGE on the transaction FEE. I do not need to have a huge reserve.  I DO use my funds to help speed up the process of the slow bank exchange of $$$ to BTC.  THE ONLY DIFFERENCE:

MY CLIENTS DO NOT HAVE TO GIVE THEIR INFORMATION TO ANY EXCHANGE, AND MY CLIENTS LIKE THAT.  YOUR ARGUMENT IS MOOT.  My clients give their information to an ESTABLISHED organization (American Express).  I do not hold Bank information, i have NO ACCESS to bank information, I am protected via my clauses and terms and conditions and Serve Terms and Conditions.
My charge comes from keeping the client SAFE of putting their BANK information to an exchange.


Again....I have done my research.....I have thought this through.

Thanks for inquiring about my service!  I appreciate the questions and criticism it helps me become a better agent for my clients!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I wish that was a typo.  I'm not a multimillionaire that has that ability to supply myself with a huge reserve so I have to buy directly.

When you speak to a broker about stocks, they don't actually have the stocks, they have to buy them for you and then transfer them to your account.

Same concept.

Hope that helps!

Thanks!

It's true it is a little weird and really goes off the structure of the dollar bill.  The reason I didn't do it opposite is because the fluctuation of the BTC market is so bouncy, it'll be 13.10 in the morning, by mid afternoon it'll 13.52 and then by midnight itll be back down, its a jumpy currency.  So sticking with something a little more concrete(by standards) makes more sense.  I've supplied a link on my site.  www.preev.com, and thats typically the currency exchange rate i go by.  if i can find it cheaper than that, i'll buy it from that other exchange instead, im here for you, i look after you as if I was purchasing bitcoin for myself.

In the fairly near future we will not need exchanges or bitcoin agents, we will only have BTC to exchange because the American Dollar will collapse paving the way for people that have BTC to be their own bank without the federal government creating debt for anyone that uses the dollar bill.  Because you know that's what a $1 bill is, is DEBT.  USD is created out of thin air in order to create debt, to keep you a slave to work, and a slave to their CORPORATACRACY.  Thomas Jefferson was a true patriot and a concerned citizen with the views of Centralized Government and Centralized Banking.  It has ruined our society and now our children will suffer the consequences.  BTC is a way of breaking free from the chains of corruption and debt/interest and I want to help people get supplied with it to the best of my ability.  When the BTC market levels out and stops being so erratic, it'll be a lot better, if that ever happens, which it should.  I don't know though, not a psychic.  

So yeah anyway I'll stop boring ya with my end of the world/conspiracy theory banter, I fixed it, try it out:

Thanks for your interest!!!!

I wish I was an expert, I'm nothing of the sort, I'm just good with numbers, improvisation, importance of anonymity, and BTC Social Structure.

I have switched from PopMoney to "Serve" by American Express.  If you sign up with Serve, you and I can create a friendship and we both can connect to serve.  There is an app for it on both Android and Iphone.  EXCELLENT SERVICE!  www.serve.com



Serve has ZERO fees (as of now) to transfer money back and forth to people.  I can send $10 dollars to you via this service American Express is offering. 


When you sign up with serve, you do not necessarily "have" to link your bank account even though I suggest it....you could link a moneypak to fund your account in turn you can then send me money to buy your btc for you.


When you fund your account, it can take up to 2-3 days for it to show up in your SERVE account.  Just like dwolla.  And transfers are INSTANT.  Once I receive the funds that you use my email address "bitcoinrd@gmail.com", if I have enough RESERVE in my account, which I usually do, I can send you INSTANT BTC.  If I do not have the reserve for your request, it can take up to 5 days for me to obtain that amount of BTC requested.  But you don't have to worry about any of that.  I take care of that.  You just patiently wait.  I believe in Excellent Customer Service, it is a dying practice.

Now everybody asks me, are you afraid of charge backs....yes of course I am....it's the bane of BTC existence and purchasing BTC without cold hard cash. (which there is only 3% in circulation in the world, the rest of it is invisible numbers).  I have a very strict policy with charge backs. And my lawyer said it is legit the way I have my operation setup.

If you provide me information about yourself (which you do through SERVE) and we have a successful transaction and you try to Charge Back on me via Serve.  I have enough proof and evidence of your successful money transaction that will nullify the charge back.  I then go to the lengths of displaying your name, address, phone number, email address, and any other information about you that I can find out to forums, facebook, twiiter, tumblr, and email ALL exchanges that you are untrustworthy, a cheat, and a liar.  I will billboard it.  People usually don't want that about them.  And it keeps everyone honest.  So I feel fairly protected on my end.

If you have any other questions I will be glad to answer them to the best of my knowledge, remember I'm not expert, I just have a good understanding what it means to give great customer service and the idea/importance of anonymity.  I find my information just like you and everybody else.  People have been using and transacting with bitcoin longer than i have, they have more experience.  I'm just good at what I do with my business and my other side businesses. I thought I would take a crack at bitcoin because I found it hard to buy bitcoin myself and I felt naked when I had to give up my information to exchanges....And I didn't want that for other people, I didn't want them to feel exposed.  So help them keep fairly anonymous to the exchanges, but giving me the opportunity to be their funnel.   The exchanges have a much lower transaction fee, but typically you have to wait longer and they are very impersonal.  I feel that if you are going to give someone your money and trust them with it, you should at least get to know them.  That's me.  I want to get to know you....

Think of it this way:  A lawyer is as to the judicial system is as a bitcoin agent is as to an exchange.

A lawyer doesn't own the judicial or work for the judicial system, a lawyer works for you.

A bitcoin agent doesn't own an exchange nor do I work for the exchanges, a bitcoin agent works for you.

Hope that makes sense.  I guess the only difference is that I am not a crook like most lawyers. LOL.

Thanks for your interest.
