I was trying to sell 1BTC earlier (online bank transfer with escrow), I filled out the form correctly as I usually do but my advertisement always says I have no BitCoins or I'm on vacation. (I had 1.01 in my wallet).
So I topped up my balance to 2BTC, and then tried again to sell 1BTC, but still the same thing.

Is there a minimum for selling online using escrow?

error on dynamic pricing:

i use mtgox_usd_last.
whenever is change mtgox_us_close to _ask and then change another aspect of my order (eg the fee), it switches back to mtgox_us_close which makes editing an order a pain in the asteroid.

probably because bitcoincharts.com was down


no, that's something i have always observed. just never bugged me enough to make a post.

Dynamic pricing is broken. The prices on the page that loads on my browser are stuck and outdated for quite some time now.

Ditto.

But that's not what happened. Those extra coins are somewhere in localbitcoins but not in my wallet. I don't know how to get them back.

Any advice? Thanks

Hi, the case is now resolved. The temporary wallet over-fundings were automatically returned if they were cancelled, but in this case the the escrow was resolved and the funding hit the wallet after that. We'll fix this special case to automatically return the bitcoins to seller from the temporary wallet.

Small tweak?

We are making some changes here, which will enchange the online selling visibility.

Its really annoying! More and more spammers and dead accounts. Browsing the ads for active and solvent traders is like grave digging.
Inactive accounts with old ads should be deleted. Please muck out the stable!


We are working on this. We have currently expiration time for the inactive advertisers, the next step is creating some kind of barrier to creating lots and lots of ads.

I think I have discovered a bug here.

Somebody made a BUY order using one of my SELL advertisements. Naturally, I sent the btc required for the transaction, but I forgot to include a fee.

On the other hand, I had bought from somebody else and this person released the coins to me. I have the option to automatically fund transactions enabled so part of that money was used to fund my ongoing sell.

I saw that the sell order was funded so I released the coins to the buyer. At this point, I noticed the transaction was funded internally and not using the funds I sent because those hadn't had three confirmations yet.

OK, I though. As soon as they hit 3 confirmations, those btc will be in my wallet.

But that's not what happened. Those extra coins are somewhere in localbitcoins but not in my wallet. I don't know how to get them back.

Any advice? Thanks

compromise:
add a location "online" and people who want to advertise in places more than 300km apart, are considered professional traders that may well be charged a fee for listings. "Oh, so you are Western Union? You can bulk-upload your shop's locations via our API Wink … and, by the way, it's not for free to list here as a business"

I used to see a list of diverse online sellers before but now some seller r3365 has posted so many sell entries that I can only see his. 

https://localbitcoins.com/accounts/profile/r3365/
https://localbitcoins.com/accounts/profile/clickerX/

Both unclear on the concept of LOCAL (should be posting 1 for Online, and 1 for their primary domicile, not dozens)

Can we have an ignore button for spammers?

There's sellers that have inudated the site with ads.

Also, an expiration date for ads would be nice, along with an email a couple of days before asking you to renew the ad.  A simple link the in email to renew the ad is all that's needed. There's people that appear to not have updated their ads since last year.  People selling btc for $10.  Tried contacting and of course got no response.

I know I repeat myself but can we have a minimini listing fee in return for a reduced escrow fee? This would affect me as I don't escrow ever but it would keep spammers under control.

I keep getting complains from buyers regarding rounding in price calculation.
Example: Someone wants to buy 5 btc - entering "5" into btc field, get a quote, send request, and then he see: You are buying 4.9998 btc.

Hi, currently the escrowed purchase can be disputed after 24 hours. The feature tries to be universal, we don't have a way yet to tailor it to specific payment methods/countries. This is problem because often the transfers can take even 3 days elsewhere. Even in countries where it is usually very fast, there have been some big delays now and then. We are working on a feature which allows sellers to specify different limits/terms invidually.

Hi,

I have requested to cancel an escrowed transaction yesterday through an email but haven't got any reply so I'd like to try here.  After funding the enabled escrow transaction I haven't received any form of communication from the buyer nor seen his payment in my given account since 11th Feb.  Can I ask you to cancel the transaction so I can have the coins back please.

Thanks

Hi, I guess I already answered by email.

But just in case in the future, the best way to do this is by pressing the "start dispute" button in the escrow, which should be visible after 24 hours from the purchase creation. This way we'll spot the case from the admin interface and it is easier to deal with it.

Currently we are getting a lot of support emails, and with our limited workforce we are unable to respond to emails in very timely manner. Sorry about that.

kangasbros,

Is there any way to report a spam contact?  I got a message this afternoon from "ElitePeasant" with this message:

I changed the xxxxx from what it was so no one accidentally clicks it. Wink
I reported them to Mediafire as spammers, and got an email saying their page was taken down.
