Title: Sending BTC outside of escrow
Post by: Huxlay on June 30, 2011, 07:22 pm
Was just curious how long does a btc payment take for a seller to receive when sending through TH to there address?

In my experience, 1-3 hours.

I see, can this possibly take more than 24hrs for the seller to receive after you have sent to an address given ?

The actual bitcoin transfer won't take 24 hours, it should be 6 to 10 confirmations which is 40-60mins tops.

I see ,i see thanks for the info sir rake.

Well i made a purchase from a highly trusted vendor on ovdb and sent out payment yesterday in the afternoon... And received a message saying he has not yet received it today, But payment was marked completed in TH..  Was just wondering now what are the possible outcomes of this scenario as i am worried ??

Double check the address and make sure it matches.  If it does then the vendor is doing something wrong.  If they match but the vendor realizes we sent you an invalid address the funds should turn up in tradehill.  If the address is invalid, let TH know as they may have to search for the rejected transfer.

Well i withdrawed it to the sellers address, im more than positive that it was sent to the correct address they gave to me. I will surely let TH know if the status remain the same as i am awaiting for another respond from seller. Well it marked as successful. And were can you see the address you sent it to?   It just says "BTC via Bitcoin Transfer to Your Bitcoin Address" And thats its complete.    I also recently sent out another amount, and the last one that was successful, which is the one i sent yesterday is now gone from the pending deposits and withdraws in the dashboard.  Any help?
