Title: Order Processing
Post by: Timmy231 on April 12, 2013, 05:50 am
Hi, I havnt made an order on here in quite some time, and only used to order of 1 person.  I made an order about 2 days ago, and it just shows processing still, with no option to finalise early.  I'm a little worried, since I made the order the value of bitcoins I purchased dropped considerably.  Therefore if the order is cancelled (as the option isnt there till after 4 days)  I am going to loose out on approx half my money and I wont be able to make a similar purchase.

The seller is a reputable top seller, so I would hope there wouldnt be any problems.  Im just wondering how long it is common for an order to be in the status of processing.  My previous experience was that the option to finalise early was there pretty quickly.

Thanks for any advice

The option to finalize will become available once the vendor marks your order in transit. 2 days isn't really uncommon as far as processing time. A lot of vendors got slammed with loads of orders in the last few days as the BTC value dropped and buyers looked to cash out. So the vendor is probably really busy at the moment, but 2 days is really nothing to worry about.

If the order has not progressed to in transit by 4 days you can cancel the order yourself.

Seller Cancelled order.

Now cannot afford to buy the same order.

Shame really.  I can understand why, since the value of bitcoin dropped dramatically, but I still think this is very unfair.

I think a lot of others are going to see the same thing happen, BTC is dropping like a stone right now.

Thanks for the replies.

Yeh, I just reordered half the amount instead.

I wish the value of bitcoin was a little more stable.  Rapid increase or Decrease in value just makes purchases on here far more risky.
