Topic: How do I know my BTC was received by the other person? (Read 1517 times)
Kindly PM them the transaction info on blockchain and show that it has X number on confirmations. If they gave you the wrong address then it is possible the funds went to the wrong place, but that would be his fault. As long as you know you sent it to the right address you're good. Consider putting it in scam accusations to warn others.
Don't be fooled by this type of scam, he has obviously recieved his BTC.
you can see in receive . thats you will see who sent you btc and how many you got .
He doesn't have a "receive" for the address he has sent to. The answer is (if it's not clear from the posts above) blockchain.info.
Via blockchain.info
Even a single confirmation makes it pretty safe

One thing nobody mentioned about blockchain.info is that you can see whether an input has been spent yet or not. Just scroll down to the bottom of the page and find the "Advanced: Enable/Disable" button. With advanced options enabled, each entry has a note saying whether or not a given input has been spent. Comes in really handy sometimes.
You don't need to know if the input was spent in order to confirm that a TX was in fact "received" all you need to do is check for confirmations of the TX in question

I think OP got it by now, BUT.. I just wanted to add that any block explorer would do, not only https://blockchain.info
There's https://blockexplorer.com, as KaChingCoinDev above me stated as well, https://blockr.io and others as well. Blockchain.info isn't the only place one can check transactions.

Haha you can tell people do not even bother reading the post above them.
Everybody telling the OP about the blockchain so I guess I shall as well.
Hey OP, use blockchain.info to check your transactions. <--- My good deed for today.

If I'm trading BTC for a good/service, and the other person claims to have not received my BTC, what recourse do I have? Is there any way I can know whether it was received or not?
First, the fact that you can see in the blockchain that the btc went where you were asked to send them does not mean that the other person received what you sent.
If he was using a third party wallet, or if an exchange exists as an intermediary, you only know that you sent btc to that intermediary.
To verify that the other party received the funds, you must have knowledge of a public address which that party actually owns, and then verify through blockchain receipt to that address.
Use block chain and search for the BTC Transaction ID, then look for confirmations.
Oh, and blockexplorer.com works good too
Just search blockchain followed by your address on google. You will get a list of ally our transactions and you can check if they were confirmed.

Yes, blockchain.info. Not only can you tell when it was received, you also know how many confirmations it has had.
Just connect to blockchain.info website and search the btc address of the receiver, you can also see the previous transactions.

Check blockchain info. Also if you are using multiwallet it is visible on the transaction tab

visit blockchain.info and type their address. All transactions are public with bitcoin, so you can see how much money everybody owns and where it is transferred to
Just go to blockchain.info search using the public key (bitcoin address you sent the BTC to) and you can view all the transactions for that wallet. you should be able to point when your transactions... You can also check how many confirmations the transaction has received your wallet can should show you all of this.
