So would BitInstant like to comment on what is going to happen to those who deposited over a week ago, and yet have still not received our funds, missing a fairly sizable BTC bubble that happened today. I would have sold a decent chunk of my BTC off at ~$250 (after ostensibly buying at ~115 if I got my funds as expected) to probably cover my some portion of my initial investment, and kept the rest in BTC. Because of the 7+ day delay in receiving funds though I and many others have missed the opportunity.
I can't say for sure what exactly I would or would not have done with my BTC had I had it when the bubble approached and began, but I would have been in control had I had my own money....
Well of course you would have sold at the top... Everyone was going to. |

I don't know, bitinstant doesn't know, no one can ever know. All I know is the locus of control was taken from me due to faulty BitInstant something or other. |

I've noticed that there has been several people who have had their issues resolved, but I am curious if any of those were for pulling USD out of BitInstant? Or even more simply like mine which was USD exchange coupon to USD PayPal? No market to even deal with for my issue, the issue was only the money didn't come out of BitInstant's PayPal account and into my account. I just picture a first level support that hands off the more difficult items to second level and is able to quickly fix simple items, but either that isn't the case with the support or they fraudulently don't have the cash flow available on the PayPal side to fulfill my order (which was pretty small in comparison to others.)
Thanks!
You may see some of the PP and Bitstamp issues resolved later tonight. Another CS rep is working on this...  |

Read my sig. No, your sig does not my address my issue. Your sig addresses what rate I will get my coins at. What I am saying is, I SHOULD of had ~4.17 BTC today to do whatever I wanted to do with, as this bubble approached and BTC ultimately crashed. I would have sold some portion of these as BTC began to crash, locking in some profit and leaving me with some BTC left over. Instead I had NO btc to sell due to bitinstant's issue, thus depriving me of the profit opportunity. |

You may see some of the PP and Bitstamp issues resolved later tonight. Another CS rep is working on this... You may want to recommend to management that they implement ITIL standards in handing support requests in the future... Leave solving the actual problems to a 3rd level support, and allow the lower levels to concentrate on keeping the customers happy by fixing their issues. What I mean by this is, whatever the root cause of a PayPal/BitStamp/MtGox issue is fixed at the root cause level by the 3rd level support... they focus on fixing the problems the company comes across, which are found because of the issues customers report, whereas the customers issues are things like "I don't have my money/coins", which is a different problem than "PayPal froze one of our accounts" or whatever (which is a company problem). This allows the lower levels to quickly solve your customer's issues (by whatever means necessary, manually transferring funds, etc...) and allow those who are 3rd level subject matter experts to focus on making it so that the issue doesn't reoccur for others. If you suggest this to your management, then you will be giving them the solution to their current problem... irritated customers because of over-extended support who may wind up not being customers in the future. That and a real support/ticket system that has a UI available to your customers. All the customer cares about for their issue is their issue, not the companies problem. The customer will however care when choosing in the future who to use, so you do have to have the 3rd level support to resolve the problems, but you can do that in the background without affecting the customer's issue. Okay, done with my soap box, hopefully URSAY you get something helpful out of this you can take to your management  . Thanks! |

How can you have a 4/10 list when I was on the 4/9 and haven't received anything yet. I'd appreciate a response. |

I have used Bitinstant many times without any incidents. Always smooth until just recently. I did a transfer last night and it seemed to get stuck on "MTGox Order Loading" - no sign of any movement. I know there's some ruckus out there and alot of people upset, but if anyone could help me get this completed I would be thankful. I would send URSAY a message, but I can't PM. My email is this username, but at Yahoo.com - also the confirmation email for my order, Order ID c9886d4b-377d-4995-bff5-f7689ef1be8a - if you can help me out, please let me know!

We are well aware of the issues and we are always working on them. Thanks for your feedback. No problem! Just keep in mind of what I am saying. Our issues are different from your issues. We will call a customer's issue an Issue (capital I) and the company's issue a Problem (capital P). You don't have to fix the root cause of a Problem to fix a customers Issue, you just need to make right the customers Issue. You should be able to resolve at least 15+ Issues an hour per person, and probably more, in most cases (there's always exceptions, but they are the exception.) Fixing a Problem takes more time of course, but fixing a Problem keeps Issues from happening. A quick example, my situation: For whatever reason funds weren't available in company's PayPal account to transfer to my PayPal account. To fix the Issue, quickly by 1st/2nd level: Manually send the money from some other PayPal account... takes just a few minutes, regardless of if it is 1st/2nd level support person doing this or queuing requests to group with permission to transfer money from Bank Account through other PayPal accounts, etc... To fix the Problem, by 3rd level: Fix whatever transfers the money into PayPal, work with PayPal to unfreeze the account, etc... takes much longer. Even if you know what the Problems are, you shouldn't make customer's Issues depend on the resolution to the Problems. By doing this you keep us happy by fixing our Issues faster and also you're paying a smaller amount of people more pay to solve the Problems (and those fixing Issues are paid less, since it requires less skill.) |
