@Localbitcoins any reason why you are charging us random fees on the withdrawals on the website ? I have been charged much more than the normal transaction fees couple of times in the last couple of days.

What do you mean by random fees ? Their site says

Transfer fee is usually 0.0001-0.0004 BTC per outgoing transfer, but sometimes it can be a more or less because of the non-deterministic nature of generated bitcoin transactions.
 So it can be anything in that range same as the one which can be seen in the blockchain transaction.

Yes I am aware of that, but in the past 2 days I have been charged 0.0011 as withdrawal fees. Also after I checked the transaction ID, it shows 0.0001 as the txn fees. I don't see why they would charge me 11 times that. They also charged 0.0003-0.0004 sometimes, even when the tx in fees on blockchain was just 0.0001 BTC. This could potentially be a bug or could be something done on purpose.

Then Thats certainly a lot. You should contact the support I am sure they will sort it out. I haven't seen anyone else post about it, so it could be just you with a bug on your account.

The site is very good, always use it to buy Bitcoins using PayPal and Payza times when there are good sell orders .

Still waiting to get the high fees resolved. I had a friend who was charged similar amounts for the fees but today he received a refund for the high fees that was charged.



Also been charged a high fees around 0.0004 multiple times when the blockchain was only 0.0001.

They are already established and hence dont care much about supporting free users.

That is a stupid explanation. What do you mean by a free user ? One of my friends who had this resolved was refunded which points to the fact about the error being on their part. Their FAQ also says that fees is charged based on the bitcoin network and the fees has been 0.0001 in cases I have been charged 0.0011.

1. I did not say they wont solve your problem. I said they dont care about you. That means your problem is not a priority for them as they are already established. Check https://localbitcoins.com/fees. They have more interest in 'Custom Work'.

Custom work, such as research of possible external problems: 200 eur/hour, paid with Bitcoin by the current rate. Minimum billable amount 100 eur.

2. 0.0011 BTC is not abnormal. It depends on your Tx size. If you post your Tx ID, we can see more details of it.

Custom work is something they generally do along side and I doubt if it in anyways affects(which it shouldn't) their normal localbitcoin business . I was actually a trader there but this has become really disappointing. I haven't got any replies in the past 4 days from the support. I had also sent them another message yesterday .

They finally fixed the problem on the excess fee being charged and now is back to the normal 0.0001 to 0.0003, and have directed the matter to a developer. It has already been roughly 2 weeks , since I last heard from them about any refunds ,but if you guys were charged a higher fees as high as 0.0011 between 10th and 18th June, you should request for a refund if any .

Hi,

for 'finding' 'missing' bitcoins resulted for using localbitcoins web wallet incorrectly, (receive 0.07 newly generated coins from mining), we bill 200 EUR / hour for manual labor, and minimum billable amount is 100 EUR. The amount is reduced from the recovered amount of bitcoins with current bitstamp rate.

Please note that using localbitcoins wallet to receive newly generated coins might be fixed in future, but we cannot provide any ETA for that.

Please let us know how do you wish to proceed....

At the moment it looks like we've encountered a hardware failure. Current ETA to be online is 12 hours. Wallets and BTC's are safe.

The site is up and i see that they have implemented CloudFlare DDoS protection.

This website is full of shit. Was in a dispute with a seller, dispute was resolved and I can't withdraw my funds cause the security team is investigating my account? LOL for what? I only use it to sel bitcoins not buy. Avoid this website

That should really not be happening unless there was foul play involved. Localbitcoins allows buyers and sellers to operate without verifying their identity, so technically they shouldn't be investigating your account.

Sorry but after all the accusations and insults GiftcardsAmazon posted, he got the attention of the Localbitcoins staff and who can blame them for taking more interest in his dealings? If he did nothing wrong, they will have to release his funds. For example, we don't know the origins of the coins he is selling, perhaps they are tainted

I am not sure if he is involved in any accusations with you or anyone else. I was just commenting on his account being locked at lbtc. Typically localbitcoins will never ban accounts just because they aren't sure of the source of the coins. However if its from an exchange hack or something similar, then maybe they would.
