Hey, thanks for your response..

I use Electrum, and yes I did change the transaction fee to "mempool" instead of static which is default I believe, and turned the sat.byte down a bit, but I had no idea it'd have this effect.

Here is the transaction iD:  12d92f8f0ab008a5bfbe3be9f3f8d391fb52c0858b848776fb864d8f7202f7e8

Hello and thank you for your support / interest in helping me resolve and understand this issue.

So I place an order through my btc wallet for around 40$ USD, I had to turn the fees way down as it was costing more than I had in my wallet. So about 5 days later, after bumping the fee, and inspecting the transaction more closely, I was surprised to find out that about 2.20$ usd or .00005946 btc was sent to the recipient, and the transaction fee turned out to be .00094187 btc, which seems backwards to me.

I am by no means well versed in btc transactions, but this is the first time I've encountered this specific issue after having it held up for 5 days only to see that my transaction fee to send 2$ was around 35$. If anyone can explain to me what I did wrong, so that I can avoid it in the future it would be extremely helpful. Also, I'm inferring that the transaction fee is not recoverable? Sigh, I guess there's no customer service to call for Bitcoin huh..

Any response is greatly appreciated, sorry if this is a newb question.

Wow, you guys are so awesome.

Thanks so much for the back to school lesson, I really shouldn't even be invested this much into the crypto system without even understanding these fundamentals, and I thank you all for your kindness and wisdom.

It appears as though it has went through, however, the time limit for the order already expired.

If it does come back that it didn't process, I emailed the owner of the company to let him know my issue and if not, i'll just go drop some more cash and try again tomorrow.

I appreciate the help again everyone, thank you so so much.

Hey, thank you guys so much for the responses, all is helpful.

So, Mr. Fish, thank you for the enlightening 3 steps there, very insightful. Interesting about the transaction fees...

So, what I ended up doing was Changing the transaction fees, it's Method: ETA and I changed the target to within 5 blocks (or as you said fish, 122.8 sat/byte), to
within 10 blocks (75.4 sat/byte) and it seemed to go through..

However, if i'm understanding you correctly Neurotic fish, by changing that I may have just made the sending of my btc confirmation way longer than instant?
If i'm deducing this properly, the transaction fee was more than 9$? And by changing that target to 10 blocks instead of "Within 5" that my btc may take longer to confirm, if they do at all??

Still unconfirmed as of now.

And, I apologize for any redundancy or noobishness, very welcoming community and I appreciate you guys.

I'll try lowering the transaction fees, thanks.

So upon checking, there's 55 confirmations. this is a transaction under 100$ usd. I am pretty inexperienced with the technical side of it, but as I understand it, only 3+ confirmations are needed for a transaction up to 1000$ or up, from what i've read...?

Hey guys,

New here, just having an issue that I haven't ever had before...Using Electrum,

I purchased some Btc today and am trying to use it to complete a transaction.

The purchase price for my transaction is .0106 BTC
My account has .0115 BTC...

That's absolute total, there's no transaction fees or anything i'm missing as far as I can tell.

Can anyone help me as to why this wouldn't go through, i've used this vendor and wallet dozens of times without issue, it's as if the btc I purchased today is not showing up in my wallet, even thought it says verified and confirmed at 1pm PST...

Any help would be extremely appreciated please, thanks folks!
