Where are you trying to transfer them from? A website based purchasing/selling market wallet?
Did you get your SR wallet address and use that in the transfer details?
It takes a few hours to go through, usually, to the SR wallet.

hey man yeh i got the bitcoin wallet software but i bought bitcoins from local bitcoins.com transferred it to bitcoin wallet and then yeh transferred it to my sr wallet and said i had insufficient funds but it never went through i waited a day to

Well, the longest I have ever waited was around 11 hours and the fastest it ever was for me was around 3 hours. Unfortunately I don't really know what else to tell you other than that, I'm also quite new to the scene.

yeh cheers man what i dont get is wheni transferred it, it said i had insuficient funds when obviously i got funds in my bitcoin wallet so im guessin it just takes time to transfer it?
-
Are you saying that SR told you that you had insufficient funds when you tried to place an order?
That means the funds need to be transferred into your SR wallet before placing the order, so that the BC can be put into escrow.
So before you can order it you'll need to wait for the funds to register.

yeh it said non my sr account i had insufficient funds when i tried withdrawing from my bitcoin wallet so im guessing now its because i needa wait for it to process?
-
Yeah as long as it's;
-Buy BC,
-Transfer to another wallet (to clean the trail a bit),
-Transfer to SR wallet,
-Wait for funds to register through BC network and appear in SR wallet,
-Place order.
Then all that's left is waiting for the package, which is even harder for the patience impaired. ;)

does it say 'balance' in your wallet with the amount you paid in next to it. then 'amount available' or something similar underneath?
mine did the same, it just takes a little while to clear in your wallet. it should say something under transactions or somewhere. it depends on which wallet you have.
this btc transfer thing isn't quite as instant as sending an email or something. i just recently found that out, lol.

yeh bitcoin acount dosent say nothing has transferred to my sr account from my wallet but my balance in my bitcoin wallet is still there so might just wait a day or two and see what happens
