Problem with "watch only" wallet

[metropolit]

Hello there,

i've bought bitcoins from bitcoin ATM in Zagreb, Croatia.
Then i've downloaded electrum and imported those bitcoins into the account. Now i have those bitcoins in "watch only" wallets and i cannot send those bitcoins online, there is no send button at all.

How can i get those bitcoins into normal wallet now?

Did you make a copy of the wallet's seed when you setup the wallet?

When setting up the wallet Electrum would have taken you through the setup steps and part of that would have been showing you the seed of the wallet and telling you to make a backup of that seed.

The problem is that you have loaded the public address into electrum.
You need to load load the private address into electrum.

The public address typically start with 1 or 3.
The private address starts with 5.  

Ofcasue you can ONLY spend the coins from your electrum wallet. You cannot not use an online wallet, unless you also import the private address into your online wallet as well.
