Thank you RANCHIGO, UNHOLYCACTUS and HCP for your prompt and informative replies.

I knew when I started the thread that I wasn't having a Bitcoin issue per se, but I didn't see a more appropriate forum.

I *did* want to confirm my understanding that because my transaction had been "confirmed" (as noted in the screenshots of the Multibit detail screens) that my vendor actually received my money.

Now I know for sure that I need to harass my vendor to resolve any refund issues.

I'm not worried that they're ripping me off.... I've done business with the company for years, but I've only done 2 other BTC transactions with them that worked out ok.

Thanks again for your help!

Thank you very much for your extremely prompt reply.



Is there some way to know, positively, that the vendor actually "received" the BTC?


I'm not sure what you mean by "payment processor".  I used Multibit HD (running locally on my PC) to send the BTC directly to a wallet address the vendor provided.  If there was some intermediary involved, I don't know who it is.

I guess this is what I get for using a payment process I just barely understand...

First off, I am now aware that Multibit HD has been deprecated and no longer being supported.  Virtually all of my BTC are in an on-line wallet, but I did this transaction before I knew that.

I sent off my payment and it appears from all that I can see that the transaction has gone through and is confirmed on 1388 blocks.

After seeing that my order was still marked unpaid, I contacted the vendor who said "payment was sent but rejected because I have just been informed that due to bitcoin new regulations they are not allowing payments under $100.00 usd".

I have asked them to return the BTC to me, but have not heard back from them yet.

My questions are:

Are there really bitcoin regulations (in general) that mandate a minimum transaction amt?  I guess that a specific BTC exchange might have rules.

If the the transaction was "rejected", by whom?

What has happened to my money?  Does the vendor I transacted with have it?  Will it automagically be returned to me?
It wasn't a lot in the grand scheme of things (0.00570000BTC ~ 85USD), but I can ill afford to have it simply vanish.

If I don't hear anything back from my vendor what are my next steps (if any)?

Thanks for any guidance you can provide.
