I was trading on localbitcoins and never had a problem, but paxful has full of scammers scamming through paypal using various methods. Avoid paxful as much as you can, there are nothing but a bunch of big time scammers, some with high reputation but have stolen paypal accounts

Its a scam site, be careful. I used my email ID and used a password to register(which was the same as my gmail) and in a few mins there was a login attempt from USA. So they steal your passwords and gain access to your account and then take away your paxful wallet etc. They advertise on paxful and ask people to register in their site. Be careful.

Thanks to gmail security where they dont allow logins from different countries without more checks my account was saved.

Ok this has been finally fixed after a long time. The prices of BTC when i bought and now is completely different, hope this does not happen again and transactions are sent with right fee.
Thanks for the fix

Have been really patient, this transaction is not just mine I know more people whose money is stuck because of this transaction, what exactly is the problem? Can you atleast stop broadcasting the transaction so that it is dropped from the blockchain and it comes back to our CEX.IO account?

If you give us more information we can do something.

You were supposed to resolve it long back as you have resolved others, unlike other $ withdrawal issues, this BTC withdrawal is completely in your hands, just because you bunched too many transactions together you are responsible for paying the fees as we have paid the transaction fees which was displayed

Please reply to this and dont ignore it.

CEX.IO please let us know if anything has been done about this tx fd82fb9711afc48623fa13fa3963121f88160afe56fc968feaf02e5f73e7b764

Can you tell us why? Either stop rebroadcasting the tx so that it is dropped or send with higher fee.

Nope he cheats people by gaining trust and trying to sell bitcoins at a cheap price and takes money and stops replying, see his trust rating, whatever it is people use free accel service and claim they are doing it, anyway I am just warning you that this guy will cheat you if you pay him first, so dont pay him there are reputed accelerator services on the internet use them instead if you really want to pay.

Ok please resolve this, the price of BTC has fallen a lot now and i under loss cause of this.

Dont pay this guy ANY MONEY, look at his profile he has negative rating, he will bring you into confidence and cheat you after you pay him, please report him

I have given my transaction fee and userID in multiple forums but i have no idea why my reply is always ignored.

They reply to all messages except the ones which they are accused of sending low transaction fee.

All victoms of CEX.IO please reply here

You can never solve the problem if you dont acknowledge it exists, the standard reply to this is that it is due to bitcoin network congestion but the fact is it is NOT.

I have done multiple transactions in the last few days from other wallets and it is gone through well but only with cex.io (esp on 2nd and 3rd jan) the transactions have super low fees which make them stuck forever, unless you understand this you cannot solve the problem.

I can see your transaction but it will never get confirmed due to low transaction fee.

People are contemplating legal action due to this.

For those who are claiming that Cex.io is not a scam can you tell me what do you call a company which charges full transaction fee and just spends a part of it and makes your transaction unconfirmed forever?

Check all these

And there are many more on bitcointalk and cex.io

Despite them charging 0.001 btc per person they bunch too many transactions together and pay just a part of the fee.

If this is not a scam then what is?

it is time for an official complaint to be filed, the total transactions are more than 15BTC which is a lot of money, unfortunately I am not in london but I am sure there are online consumer complaint forums which we can approach

So CEX.IO is scamming people and I dont use the word lightly

This is their strategy, they charge full transfer fee from all the users, but just pay for 1 of them and bunch all the transactions together this makes the per byte transaction fee very very small and you can see multiple such complaints, dont believe me look at this transaction. Look at the fee, despite them collecting 0.001 BTC from each one of us.

Look at the number of outputs and see the final fee? This is clearly cheating the customer as the transfer fee is not used completely in the transaction.


They dont answer to support tickets at all, and even if they do it is not helpful, they ask us to wait despite knowing it will NEVER get confirmed, they can solve it by multiple methods but they dont.


Is this not a scam?
