Put 'Exodus' as the wallet host, and your own name as the recipient name. So it just seems you are sending to yourself.

They are just required to ask those questions because of UK FCA regulations, they don't have the time and resources to check every transaction.

If you want to be safe, do send to an external wallet like Exodus or Coinomi before paying for your order here.

Appreciate that mucka, been using crypto for a while but I'm not exactly the sharpest blade in the cutlery drawer, good to build up more knowledge of process..

Ideally send to an external wallet as suggested, then send from there to LB, and then you'll always be correct in the assertion the exchanges are now demanding. It's 1 extra gas fee (so currently about 50p, or less) to do so.

I tested this and it works. 🙏

I’ll give that a try, thanks for the context and support!

I put Bitpanda as the host and M.Mouse as the recipient. Seems to work..

I've been using BitPanda and the fees aren't bad at all. Recently, the transaction fees have been around £2 when it used to reach £30 a few months ago.

I also started using them! Best option from my extensive shopping around.

No simple answer unfortunately. So many different views and methods on here but Bitp@y and Coinb@se seem most popular.

Cheapest way to transfer in my experience is from a software w@llet being happy to come back later if the fees are high (you can just let the sale time out).

To get the coin in the first place I’d say bank tr@nsfer into Coinb@se avoids the biggest robbery and reduces the chances of your bank saying no.

Buying from Coinb@se has always been cheap for me, again I’ve always enough in stock to walk away when fees are surprisingly high.

You can’t buy directly to a sellers w@llet, anyone offers you that you’re about to get robbed.

Thank you for the insights!
