I sent a TX from my Freewallet and it was stuck locally, until Electrum somehow picked it up and shows it but says its missing inputs.
If you sent coins from Freewallet to Electrum and Electrum showed it, then it can not be "stuck locally" because the two are not directly connected, Electrum gets transactions from bitcoin nodes which means they should have been propagated.

You should also clarify what the error message was exactly, it is not clear what you mean by "missing inputs". I can't think of any error in Electrum received transaction that says "missing inputs" apart from the one that you see when you try to send using Electrum but you said you sent from Freewallet not Electrum.

Your issue is completely different from OP's problem and you should have created a new topic.

Anyway, this transaction hasn't been broadcast to the network.
Since freewallet is a custodial service, they have full control over your fund and the only thing you can is to contact their support and ask them why they haven't broadcast your transaction.

well Ive used Electrum for many years now
But I need help too

I sent a TX from my Freewallet and it was stuck locally, until Electrum somehow picked it up and shows it but says its missing inputs.

I broadcast it, signed it, verified it... I have no idea how to recover it.

so technically the websites admins when they read my support ticket should either give me them back or find where they've gone and put them in my wallet? esp with the transaction proof
They haven't "gone" anywhere. They provided you an address and you have sent coins to it, but their automated systems for some reason have either failed to detect the transaction or detected it but then failed to credit it to your account. It should be as simply as a person confirming the transaction does indeed exist and updating your account balance. If for some reason they cannot confirm your transaction, it means either their system has displayed an incorrect address to you, or they are trying to scam you.
 
I'm not familiar with either of the sites you mention, but interesting that one stopped accepting cryptocurrency temporarily due to funds going missing. Seems like whatever wallet or payment system they have is malfunctioning.

Since you said that you have sent the fund to the correct address, yes. Now they have full control over that fund and no one else can help you. It all depends on how they deal with the situation.
In the case they don't intend to scam you, they should credit your balance or at least send back the fund to you.

Electrum highlights your receiving addresses in green. (Note that change addresses are highlighted in yellow and are yours as well.)
The screenshot your provided (which corresponds to this transaction) shows that the fund has been sent from bc1qvxgcutklfpnp0fhkcxnhsy2kmk873zh574v5dw to 37tAt87dYKiPZg5mUJewF9FWWbnwsCwVf1.

bc1qvxgc... is yours and is highlighted in green.
37tAt87d... isn't yours and isn't highlighted.

ive left a support ticket explaining and said i have screenshots of proof i sent my btc to the wallet address u provided me
No need to provide any screenshot.
Just share the transaction ID with them. That's enough.
All bitcoin transactions are public and anyone is able to check details of a transaction with only having its transaction ID.

The transaction ID for the transaction in question is:
550f9653c769ac65129a279d9713732a813c18aa8e7ce262e669a400ab3138fb

ive opened a support ticket
If you are sure you sent the coins to the correct address, then they have definitely been received since the transaction has 100+ confirmations. The only people who can help you now is the site in question, so you'll just have to wait for their response. It could be that their system simply didn't register the deposit for one reason or another.

The other possibility would be that you have sent the coins to the wrong place, either accidentally or through some piece of malware entering a fake address or similar. Did you double check the address before sending?

the non electrum address is a wallet on one of the "dark or deep websites" as a few of my friends had bee buying like gucci handbags and stuff off them i know they sell illicit stuff also. but yeh i wanted to deposit my money to the bit coin wallet address they gave me on dark fox thats the name of the site and its in on of the top listed ones and also after every btc deposit the address should change on the website well it hasnt and my bit coins havent went there ive opened a support ticket on there cos apparently on other forums another well known dark/deep web worlld market was having issues with cryptocurrencies i.e. reporting missing cryptocurrencies so i wonder if its hit a lot of websites...

You first received 0.00131175 BTC before sending it out to this address - 385tNdLjPwSzsEc5SW7Gb9p3dpQSM4Q3uH
You then received 0.00122365 BTC before sending it out to the same address.

Where did you purchase this bitcoin? Looking at the address you sent it to, it is part of a centralized exchange or service. Which exchange was it?

You then received ‎0.00171321 BTC before sending it to this address - 37tAt87dYKiPZg5mUJewF9FWWbnwsCwVf1

Could this address also be part of the same exchange or service you sent coins to in the other two transactions?

The bc1qvxgcutklfpnp0fhkcxnhsy2kmk873zh574v5dw (which is your address) received 0.00171321 BTC in this transaction.
The total fund was sent to 37tAt87dYKiPZg5mUJewF9FWWbnwsCwVf1 in another transaction.
Both transactions are shown in electrum too.

Where did you get the 37tAt87... from? As it has a different format, it can't be from the same wallet.

According to the image you shared, you spent 0.00171321 in your last transaction and the balance is now zero. Seems that the fund has been sent to an address which isn't owned by you.
Can you please share a screenshot from "Addresses" tab and post the address you sent the 0.0017132 BTC to?
As mentioned by mocacinno, with posting your bitcoin address, you may damage your privacy. But don't worry about your security. No one can steal your fund just with knowing your bitcoin address.

ok im gonna upload my screenshots il cover any private keys    how do i upload images on these message bits? i found an image button far to the left but comes up



You can only use an external image hotlink provider like imgur.
Upload your screenshots to them, then post a link.

Don't worry to much, in normal circumstances, we don't get to see your seed or (master)private key(s). In order to expose those, you need to take extra steps.

This is how your Addresses tab should look like. You can see I have many addresses (this is a testnet wallet) and I funded 2 of them. The balance of each address is shown in front of it with the number of transactions each had.
Your total balance is shown at the bottom left. Mine shows 0 + 0.0011 because the transactions weren't confirmed yet.

The green circle at the bottom right indicates a good connection and fully synced wallet. If you click it you should see the nodes you are connected to, their height and your last block height which should be equal.



You can also go to your History tab and see all the transactions involving your wallet (all your addresses). Double click on any of them to see the details. The green highlighted addresses belong to your wallet.

it says no bitcoin in bottom left corner but its sitting in one of the addresses in the addresses tab can u post screen shots to show you?>

Some screenshots might indeed be helpfull... Maybe you're not properly connected to an electrum node, maybe you're confused by unconfirmed transactions.

Do realise that posting screenshots might hurt your privacy... As long as you don't post seeds or private keys, your funds are not at risk.

All the addresses you are seeing in the Addresses tab in Electrum are your addresses. Transferring the coins from one of them to another is like taking the money out of your right pocket and putting it in your left one while paying a fee for doing so.
You should also see your balance at the bottom left corner of the Electrum window showing how much bitcoin you own. All of it is spendable assuming this is not watch-only wallet (which it doesn't seem to be based on your comment).
