its becoming almost impossible for me to buy bitcoin with no ID now :(

The fees drive me mad , its expensive enough , looking for a new wallet as we speak blockchain fees went up need another wallet .

I've been using exodus wallet which is good for fees. Or was up until the last time I used it anyway. Its actually buying the bitcoin that I've found ridiculously expensive. Can only get it just now from bittylicious, as no id. And would have cost £65 yesterday to get £40 btc! Hoping that goes bk to normal, as used to pay around fiver.

Yea I've been buying from bittylicious cos I have no photo ID just now. And fees were bit high. Usually depending on what brokers are online at the time. But went to try to buy £40 today and they wanted £65 for £40 off bitcoin! I've tried goin on later, & it's stil around £15 fee. I've nvr seen it so high. And struggling to find somewhere that don't need ID as no where near bitcoin atm. So any other payment would be good. Cos I want to make order, but not gonna pay nearly £20 in fees to buy bitcoin!

Yeh bitcoin fees went crazy sometime last night. When fees go up like this it really makes buying on here stupidly expensive. Like last night if you wanna buy a 3.5 off most vendors on here you’re looking at best part of £70 which is just madness tbf. So any way of reducing the transaction fees would be much appreciated

yea the fees can be pretty crazy at times. I've hold btc and other coins so don't have to constantly buy btc when i need to get weed but its the fees from having to sometimes move from wallet to wallet also that annoys me. Placed an order the other day and had to move some btc around from different wallets and ending up having to pay like £7 in transaction fees. Whereas if i was using XRP or somthing, it would have only cost me list £0.25 .

I'm getting this too. No idea whats happening. Fees are painfully high though.

I think there is a €25 minimum to send. If that's not the issue, maybe the fees are sky high at the moment and there's not enough in to cover that?

Thanks mate, I guess it might be the fees, but I thought I tried making orders for various amounts, and they all had the same issue.

Any idea how I can see how much fees are currently being applied by bitpanda on each transaction, and check if they are crazy high?

It took me a little bit to spot this too...I don't think the fee has anything to do with how much you're sending. After you've put the recipient address in it brings up where you put the amount you want to send. The fee is right under where you type the amount in ... And it's there before you even put the amount in. I do this all on my phone by the way so I'm just assuming it all looks the same wherever you're doing it.

Last weekend the fees were up in the 20-25 quid area all Saturday so I just kept checking until it came down. About 8pm Sunday I checked and it was £4 and I made my purchase

Wow, I had no idea the fees oscillated so much; I'll try again later in that case. I don't know anything about cryptocurrencies but the fact that fees can vary to that degree is nuts.

Fees at £40 today. I don't know if the entire btc network is like this, or if bitpanda oscillates more wildly than other exchanges/platforms

Where do you check the fees price? the fees to spend 50 quid at the moment are 30 quid - F that!

The only way to check the fees that I can see is to start to make a transaction. So the way I check is I go to send BTC, then just pick an old address from the list of previous transactions and it will bring up the current fee price. Doesn't matter how much you're sending....the fee is based on how much BTC buying and selling there is going on at the time. Or so I heard. Buying in bulk is one way to spread the fee since its the same no matter how much your spend. That's not a great solution for everyone obviously.

Having this issue with my wallet, too. Not bitpanda but same problem

Interesting to hear it's not just me PF! Could be a LB issue I guess. Looks like a dry weekend ahead for me :P

I wasn't trying to purchase on LB...so not a site issue

The 'minimum transaction value' seems to vary on BP. Sometimes I have enough to make a $45 transaction plus fees, but others it demands I spend more as a minimum. I see the option being two fold. 1- Spend less on here 2 - Put more in my BP account and don't buy smaller weights. I can't see option 1 getting much of a look in tbh.

Yeah. Pretty much same issue

I had a similar issue. It sorted itself out after a short while.
