Got email yesterday saying changes will take place from 1/8/25 for UK residents. Accounts will be auto transferred to new uk site & users will have to verify id & do questionnaire again. Once accepted onto new site there will be a 24 hour 'cooling off' period before being allowed to buy.
So if you are going to take this ride we need to brush up on our quiz answers & be prepared for initial delays.

I can see some people are having the same problem during the weekend - order payment made, cleared the blockchain but transaxe saying order awaiting payment. Is everyone ordering today Monday 7/7 having same problem? Do we have any idea when it will be resolved?

Been using Bitpanda for a while but now they are not offering Visa debit card deposits. Offering instant Neteller or Skrill? instant deposit options. Has anyone else had this problem? Anysuggestions? Or change BTC exchange again? All advice appreciated. Thanks

3 weeks ago i placed an order with vendor i have bought several items from. The order was marked as paid but i was suprised the order was not sent on the Monday but the status remained as paid. During the evening the seller cancelled the order without explanation & sent an automated message to request a refund from the borg. I message to ask why the order was cancelled & was informed by the seller that the site had been hacked. I have now been trying to get the due refund for 3 weeks without success. I have provided order number, refund amount & wallet address but still no refund. The responses from the borg have been repeat requests for info, apologies or simply no reply. So dont think that just because an escrow system is operated that your payment is safe, its not.

Big shout out to Dopey,real d and the spacemen for delivery on time every time.
Customer service is excellent on all 3 also.
Been on here a while now and these don't ever fail me 👍

7/7 anyone else having issues with obtaining the BC address for your order?

So l bought 7g of PK GOLD SEAL HASH from a user who calls himself Green Cat I bought 0.00061506 on 3rd April and paid him 0.00061506 in full
order SIGjjyHDwqge9teTfIfUk5Rq

On 5rd April I paid him again 0.00062322 in full
order CgMXdDhy6iCyxkk6NjCTqLTu

He's refusing to send though and has told me this openly.

Any help would be gratefully received

Afternoon all. Is anyone else having issues with orders that have been paid from your wallet but nothing has been received by transaxe and showing as unpaid? If so has it resolved itself or have you had to contact transaxe? Thanks

Hi All

Just had a pop-up on my Wallet app regarding Travel Rules & that I may be required to provide the details of the person receiving the BTC.

How is everyone else handling this when sending to LB?
Say its your "Own wallet" or make up some details for the wallet owner?
Part of me thinks claiming its my own wallet is easiest but I dont really want to tell my exchange that Im the owner of LBs wallet!

What's everyone doing with this?

Cheers!

Just thought I'd send some love and positive energy Greencats way.

1) You will not find quality bud elsehwere on LB ib my opinion. I have a notoriously high threshold and yet his stuff still hits in the right places.

2) You won't find a more honest vendor on here. He's always honest when others are not. Nothing but respect.

3) His service is one of the best. Fast shipment, fast delivery. Consistently ensuring his customers are well cared for.

Big up GC!! Sending alot of love your way fella.

I'll tell you this, if it wasn't for you and the help you've given me over the last two years, I worry where I would be. Saved my life and I have no shame saying that.

If someone does something good for you. Just something nice back. It might just put a smile on their face 💙

If you're asked a question not mentioned here then please leave it down below.

Hi everyone, I've been on bitpanda for years with only the occasional hiccup.

Tried to buy £50 odd quids worth of BTC today and it says I haven't completed an appropriateness test?

This is in the app, it feels like the test should load but nothing happens? I can't find the test anywhere on the website or app.

Any ideas? Would rather not wait an age for their support to eventually reply.

Yesterday I made a purchase with a seller who I promptly paid and they thanked me for my custom. A couple of hours later they cancelled my ordered and refund borg requested my bitcoin address which I provided. It has been over 24 hours and I am still waiting for this refund. The seller says that it is transaxe who provides the refund. So let me get this straight...I make a purchase, pay for my order and the seller gets to cancel and keep the bitcoin? They said that I hadn't made enough purchases and I wasn't trustworthy. So I pay for my order and now I have been ripped off yet I'm not trustworthy? Can anyone help me out here to understand how this all works. Can a seller just cancel n keep the bitcoin and the website does the refund? I wish the seller I used on the old website was still here. They had the best product and communication and wouldn't turn down customers.
