So what's the issue here? Money not arriving at all, or taking longer than usual? My test payment went well enough (took about 4 working days) and btc's orders were processed immediately.

I've used them twice.  The first time I went into my local Loyds, and the money showed up a couple of hours later!

Then I read on here about Loyds accounts being dodgy. That one of their Directors had done a bunk and he was the only one with access to their Loyds account!

This concerned me, and having no Metro bank near by, I used Ukash vouchers. They worked fine!!

Seeing as all vendors demand you finalise early, What good are bitcoins?  You are not guaranteed your money back with bitcoins finalizing early.

And if you don't finalise early , no one will do business with you!!

I stupidly travelled to London to the main Metro bank, I paid my money in and 3 days later it is not in my Intersango account!!

They have no customer service, I got 1 reply from about 7 emails.

FUCK INTERSANGO AND FUCK BITCOIN

OH JUST FUCK IT :'(

Relax, it took 4 days with my transfer. Think you should start worrying after 5 days or so. As for FE here, that's unrelated. I have so far read no negative reports concerning scams and FE for trusted sellers.

Cool, fair point clixor!

It's been a long hard shitty week. I wouldnt mind waiting 4-5 days.

If thats what I was told to expect.

But I was informed 24 hrs tops probably less.

3 days late, the least they could do is answer my emails.

It's not a great deal to ask.

As for me, my little package would have been in the post by now, possibly coming through my letter box tomorrow morning!!

As for Fe . All I meant was your meant to be protected by using Bitcoin. But Infact your not at all. And next time I will see if the vendor takes another

form of payment! Preferably one that doesn't give me brain damage!!

Thats me done moaning!! Peace out :)
