Topic: BEWARE of POLONIEX BTC WITHDRAWS - page 4. (Read 27226 times)

Got some XRP out of Poloniex.  It was a little slow but it all came through..
good luck everyone..

edit:
Actually Kraken was slower to confirm the deposits from Poloniex..
The tx show that transaction was confirmed and Kraken still not showing in balance 30 minutes later.

I'm being stuck with the BTC withdraw at Poloniex exchange.I did withdraw 0.7 BTC (nearly 1000 USD) without any transaction ID and the status is displayed
"Awaiting Approval    BTC    0.69770054
   
2017-05-13 14:02:52 Address: 1EdQz7eUFuZ6JMvFFepDG1ARurgP"

I posted a ticket 3 days ago since Saturday 13rd May and there is no respond from support team.
Is it possible of losting money here ? Please help and advice

Too many similarities to cryptsy's last days.  Just for the record I don't think polo is insolvent and I did in fact suspect that cryptsy was back then.  But it sure looks similar.  Lots of people complaining in the troll box about stuck withdrawals and mods way overworked trying to placate people.  Lots of trading irregularities.  And then a handful of permanent trollbox residents acting like nothing weird is happening.  That is exactly how cryptsy trollbox was up to the end. 

A couple differences though, people are complaining about deposits getting stuck too.  Don't recall that happening on cryptsy.  Also the mods are way less heavy handed with the bans on polo.  An hour ban is no big deal. 

I have 2fa on my polo account and I have been withdrawing close to my 2k USD limit every single day for the past week or so and every withdraw I made went without a problem and without delay.  I finally got the last of it out today.  I did not however withdraw any BTC because I didn't have any.  I withdrew DASH, XMR, and ZEC.

I like polo's interface.  And I like the trade pairs.  If they get their act together I would go back to it in 6 months or a year.

I think they think if they complain and pile on then things will go back to what it used to be before Polo was Abiding by banking regs. It will never go back and if those that have dubious accounts left all their gains on polo then they are going to have to wade through the hassle of getting those coins off. It's not like they didn't have any forewarning of this. I guess they were just to greedy and didn't do the smart thing when they had the chance.

withdrawl ok but long

For those selfish, short sighted ignoramuses out there still singing the praises of Poloniex because they personally have not yet been affected by Poloniex's arbitrary withdrawal delay tactics - hopefully you'll be next!

For the rest of the community out there who are outraged at Poloniex's brazen withdrawal delay tactics - I hope you get all your money out before they (Poloniex) freeze ALL withdrawals!

Below is a snippet of the latest troll box feed highlighting all the users who are being f..cked around by Poloniex ... having their withdrawals effectively blocked via their innovative status called  "awaiting approval" - which of late simply means "f.ck you and your withdrawal" ... the withdrawal will stay stuck in this status for 72 hours and longer and will eventually be deleted!
Very few of these withdrawals "awaiting approval" have actually been manually approved during the past two weeks at least from my personal experience as well as what i'm reading all over the internet!
This is the case even when these users log tickets with their underwhelming support team. Tickets are ignored for 72 hours all the way up to 2 weeks and even more!

And for the minority of users with this issue who actually do eventually get their withdrawals manually approved by the lame support at Poloniex there is unfortunately an identical horror story awaiting them for their next withdrawal attempt... their next withdrawal will again be delayed into "awaiting approval" status for their next withdrawal attempt!
Seems as though once an account has been flagged for this kind of harassment it continues indefinitely and effectively their accounts will permanently have to endure their painfully slow manual withdrawal method instead of the automated withdrawal method which is the default.

As a result these users (mostly on level 1) are no longer able to withdraw 2k worth of funds per day (as advertised) but are relegated to withdrawing up to 2k worth at a time but every such withdrawal now becomes an arduous manual process by Poloniex's inept understaffed "approvals" team and takes anything from 72 hours (if they are lucky) to over 2 weeks to be approved (depending on whether or not you raise a ticket for each such withdrawal).
Thus as you can appreciate - all these users whose accounts have been flagged to be harassed for manual withdrawals are now effectively reduced to withdrawing 2k worth of coins per 2 weeks!
How long would it take such a user to withdraw 50 btc from his account? yes - TWO YEARS!!!  and THIS is exactly what Poloniex wants... to misuse AML and security concerns to effectively hold a large percentage of users' coins semi-permanent hostage!

If you dont believe me - have a look at this thread -it's a feed from Poloniex's troll box where desperate users are very politely trying to get assistance with all these withdrawal issues which Poloniex itself CREATED!!

Level 2 you need to give out your address, ph# Date Of Birth. Level 3 requires SSN/passport id# and a copy of your government id, as well as you holding the ID.

The sooner the KMD trustless exchange comes online the better.

what's the difference between level 2 and 3? I asume level 2 is ID and stuff. do you have personally visit them for level 3 and reassure them you ain't scum?

This EXACT same thing happened to me yesterday!! I went into my account and noticed "something" had happened. Some of my coins had sold, others had been bought - and I had not logged in!

I decided to transfer everything to my Bittrex account - so I tried... and now like the OP, all of my coins are "stuck" waiting to be reviewed be a 'security expert'!

I do not see myself using Poloniex any more.

I just withdrew some coins from them and it came in quickly. I don’t know what seems to be problem for some people but it wasn’t an issue for me to be honest. Maybe there are some rules that you may need to follow and you forgot about them?

Maybe the amount was low or something, I don’t know the reason but mine came off quickly so it is not a problem for everyone.

Until now?

So far i had no problem with polo. Great site btw so far until now.

Even if we are withdrawing coins or is it only for withdrawing fiat? I mean I can understand if I am withdrawing dollars yes the limit should be with dollars but is it the same when I want to withdraw bitcoins? Or is there a bitcoin limit for that?

All withdrawels limits are pegged to USD.

Fairly certain the btc withdrawal limit is pegged to fiat..if I'm not mistaken

Does anyone know if there is any daily limit to withdraw BTC from Poloniex? (NOT fiat).
