https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/avoid-btc-e-update-partly-resolved-after-7-weeks-426543

I don't know if this is a scam or not but I've decided not to use them after I saw how many fees they have!Not to mention that I had to get verified!
And the fees are pretty high as I wanted to spend around 50$
If you have friends in Holland you can use an exchage there! i will send you the link!

how you solve your problem with btce ? i have the same problem that i wired usd and they havent deposit. Did they find your money or your bank return to your personal account ?

My issue has been resolved after 7 weeks.

Good day, write please the ticket number.

BTC-e is now SCAM!

I've made my first deposit last year after verifying my account by bank statement and utility bill. The funding was on my account after several business days. Great!

Second deposit after 1-2 months and they didn't want to release my funding saying I need to verify my account. I told them nicely and even added the ticket number of my verification. They didn't bother to read or go to the ticket. They were very rude and just kept saying things like "you need to verify your account!"
They never answered why it suddenly got "unverified". Never explained anything, never said sorry for the inconvenience or anything in that matter. They just kept demanding me sending them all the documents. So I send them everything again and then they released my funds.

This year I needed to buy some coins for my sister and because she isn't familiar with this, I told her that I could buy it for her. I already have several accounts.
I wired the money nearly 2 week ago. 3 business days after I wired the funds, I began checking my account. Nothing, but I didn't worry. I checked day after day and nothing.
A few days ago I contacted them asking why it's taking so long. No answer or explaining, wanted to see proof. I send them my bank statement, but that's not good enough for them and so the drama continues.......

Those fuckers are even worse than Mt.Gox. No matter how bad things were at Mt.Gox, they did kept being friendly and apologizing for the inconvenience. I know that they got into trouble after the US government took millions from them. But the support at BTC-e is the worse!!!
Monday, I will contact my bank and ask for advice what to do.

so STAY AWAY from BTC-e!!!!

But it wouldnt be that bad to know something about the site where you keep alot of money.
At least i prefer it.

I wired $15,000 USD over 5 weeks ago and it has not been deposited yet :/  I've supplied all documents and sent three tickets. The most recent ticket auto-expired after no response in a week... Anyone know what my legal recourse is or what authorities I can contact?

Haven't had any problems with them, though I only use it for trading, and I don't perform fiat deposits or withdrawals.

Mind you the whole point of BTC initially was to be decentralized and ANONYMOUS !

So you just barge in here, state that your are a noob and CLAIM some established business as a scam ?
Good job.

BTC-E has been good to me, using it for 1.5 years or so.

Withdrawing any decent amount of NVC always takes a long time though, that's one drawback.

I always trust it a bit more because it is Russian, it is not as likely to be shut down from the latest Goldman Sachs-made financial regulation set by the American gov.

Though you should never leave a lot of money their for long periods of time (on any exchange) if you can avoid. After being scammed a bunch of times in the Bitcoin community, the latest with having my deposits to WeExchange stolen by the owner Ukyo / Jon Montroll, I'm sort of hesitant to use any service unless needed. But BTC-E hasn't given me much problems or worries.  

OP so try using exchange you like, so simple

Seems obvious. BTC-e sock puppets have been around for a long time here. Their exchange is two years old. So they scam newbies, especially ones like me who sent them mucho BTC, and they have their shills and sock puppets here with "old" accounts to make the newbs look like dorks... Working it seems with most people who don't realize that age of your account or number of posts have anything to do with credibility. No wonder so many get scammed by BTC-e...

these are the oldest tricks in the scambook, sell something cheaper, appeal to peoples greed so they are blind to the obvious shortcomings of it, use every excuse under the sun why theres a problem, dont rip everybody off at the same time, then when the games up and they cant milk it anymore comes the final fuck and you suddenly realise how far away they really are. then you will all be looking at the blockchain watching your coins get traded away and fuck all you can do about it. brilliant scam, its gonna be millions, the biggest scam in btc history so far

better get your russian dictionarys out so you can write letters to the prosecutors in god knows where complaining about noone you know, not even a name

how can this not be a huge matter of concern for anybody holding bitcoin, and the mods on this forum??? once they go watch the crash, i think ill wait to buy in when everyone sells heh. btc-e clients and anybody holding bitcoin are gonna get right royally fucked, you have been warned

oh I get it now, I apologise, I thought the opposite, I missed the sarcasm, once again I apologise profusely :-)
