Transaction not showing up

[fred21]

Hello,

I have performed a transaction by myself using coinb.in for a small amount of BTC. After broadcasting it, coinb.in gave me a transaction id.

However, after several hours, the recieving address hasn't been credited yet, the sending address hasn't been withdrawn and when searching in blockchain explorer for the transaction id nothing is found?

I have put a small fee, but this should only impact the confirmation, the transaction should still be displayed on the network. So why am I not seeing it?

Hard to say exactly without seeing the transaction details... but there is no rule that says a node must propagate any given transaction. It's possible that if the fee was too low, nodes won't propagate it (hence why it doesn't show on all explorers).

What block explorers have you looked on? Try all of these:
https://blockchain.info/
https://blockexplorer.com/
https://live.blockcypher.com/btc/
https://www.blocktrail.com/BTC
https://btc.com/

If it doesn't show on any of them... try rebroadcasting your raw transaction here:
https://pool.viabtc.com/tools/BTC/broadcast/
https://btc.com/tools/tx/publish
https://live.blockcypher.com/btc/pushtx/
https://coinb.in/#broadcast

See if you get any error messages

What was the amount of fee you gave for the transaction ? It would be better for understanding if you would have mentioned it in the post.
Sometimes, if you give a very small amount of transaction fee, it takes quite a lot of time to show up.
Also, you should have mentioned the transaction id as well so that we could have verified it by ourself and see what went wrong.
Provide more details in order to solve your issue.
