I would be worried. The site looks like it could be a scam.

For one, the Number Figures on the homepage are obviously not real. The address on the contact page I doubt is theirs, and there is no phone number on the site.

It COULD be legitimate, but you're left wondering aren't you? With no way to find them if they run with the money?

Usually is a scam then. Anytime you give your money to someone you don't know, you can get scammed.

thanks zend7.  I went with a site using paypal and 1% above market BEST-BTC.com

local bitcoins was high price and alot of work, plus I live in an area of US that makes it difficult...nearest chase bank is 100mls.
I tried LibertyX, but also nearest location  to me did not sell after all...
so I went with what I could find...please leave any feedback

I hope you have bought from a good reputable source like bitstamp, localbitcoin, bitpanda , websites of such caliber. If you have bought from some not so well known website, I hope you receive your coins but this time waiting more than 2 days worries me.

When you buy bitcoin next time , take a bit of time to read through the service discussion and service announcements boards in this forum. They can give you a general idea which website is trustworthy and which is not. I hope you receive your coins.

i think your job is waiting for the amount you bought from the seller. and you can check with blockchain.info, in the top right, copy paste your wallet address and then press Enter in your keyboard. from there, you can see is there any new transaction coming from your wallet address or not. if its still empty, maybe you need to ask with your seller, when the seller send the amount of bitcoin.

in order to receive bitcoin you only have to give your bitcoin address which is starting with 1 or 3
but when you deposit fiat on vendors site to make a purchase they take some time to verify your identity through the documents you have submitted with them or sometimes wait for the charge-back period to pass and then let you withdraw bitcoin (because bitcoin transactions are non-reversible).

and that is only if the vendor was not scam!

on Electrum nothing you can changes them sending or not sending bitcoin to your address.
just make sure you have a back up of your Seed somewhere (preferably on paper) and set a password for your wallet.

I made my first purchase of bit from internet vendor. I gave an address from my electrum 2.7.12 wallet.
Question: Is that all I have to do? No other inputs? .....What other inputs?

It has been 2 days. The company says this amount of time might be required for new customers on the website.
But just to be sure on my end I ask here: Have I done all that needs doing? I have left my send (receive) address from electrum with the seller. My paysite account says "payment accepted by so-n-so" (but my balance has not changed yet)

Uh yea, I guess that it. Those questions. Am I being paranoid, or did I forget something?
