Title: Wow, does SR seriously charge $55.00 for a simple transaction?!
Post by: ErgoProxy on July 29, 2013, 11:19 pm
"Total: ฿0.5426
approximately $55.04"



What is this? I have been gone for a few months, but I do not recall being charge this much for a simple transaction. Can someone shed some light on this? I am just trying to get BTC for a MP.  Is SR really that hard up, that they charge people this insane amount? I havent got the amount in my account. And I cant get the amount because I... well.. you get the idea. What the hell is going on? :/

I don't understand.  Each individual vendor sets his or her own prices.  If you're paying ~55.04 for something, that's because the vendor chose that price - not SR itself.

Thanks for the reply.


Thing is, they are charging 20%, so it doesnt add up. :/


As far as I am aware, 20% of $170.00 is not $55.00


 :o


Edit: I see what I did wrong here. I did not consider the actual fee into it, which is taken out before its even done. I looked at the shipping cost, which is $0. Wow, such a noob mistake.



But now I am still stuck. I can't use any service without the full commission already in my account. Yet I cannot pat that until I get the money in there to begin with. >.<   I'm stuck in a bit of a paradox. I even signed up for Dwolla, but even thats useless until I get coin.

I'm sorry you're having trouble.  There's a lot of help available on our forums, and it sounds like the trouble you're having isn't really a customer support issue at this time.
