Society order Cryptonic payment

Society order Cryptonic payment
As site down placed order on Society. Made payment & noticed when payment received it was not made via Transax but via Cryptonic. Payment confirmed but when I returned to order it is marked as unpaid?. I have a screenshot of the payment confirmation & transaction confirmation. Does anyone have any advice please?

I have the same problem. Shows as paid from my end, all looks fine on Coinbase and blockchain but order still marked unpaid on LB. However when I go back to the order and click ‘pay’ again, it says received - I get the exact same screenshot as you.
It’s stressful when these kinda probs happen and it’s my first time ordering thru society I always use normal web so it is extra worrying. Hopefully it’s as Dr Green says 😬

I share your stress, its not looking good & website down for long time today with no maintenance notice. Please post if your order is marked as paid

I think everything is a bit slow, when LB back up it will probably show up.
Ive had someone order and can see they have paid via reference on chat but isn't showing as paid on order. It sounds similar to your order.
Hopefully everything will be back to normal soon 🤞

Bitpanda crackdown

Bitpanda crackdown
No longer able to use Bitpanda to buy crypto even though always sending to exodus wallet in my own name. Have moved to Bittylicious & had no problems. Quick & efficient purchase

Revolut is a great alternative fast payments and fees are like 3.99 total on a 130 order

Revolut is good until they ask you to provide more information about your payment and then if not provided in a few days time your account gets restricted. So not an option anymore

They allowed me to deposit, exchange to BTC then blocked withdrawal. Then provided with incorrect information - your payment hasnt cleared & we need more verification details. Then finally I was told my crypto trading is suspended to protect me from financial abuse. I only ever bought btc & transferred to my own name exodus wallet, never direct to vendor. I was allowed to convert my deposit back to gbp & transfer back to my bank account. I closed my account & used Bittylicious as I had already verified as a backup. It certainly makes me very uncertain about the future of using btc here & whether lb can consider an alternative. This site is a real lifeline for me

Oh OK, thanks. Doesn't sound like its anything to do with making LB purchases, more a type of glitch. Personally I don't think it is tracked in any way but most people do. I have always sent my payments direct to LB (they don't go direct to the vendor, they are all handled by transaxe.com) and will continue to do so until I have a problem, which I doubt.
Alternative payment methods have been discussed ad infinitum but transaxe as payment processor appears wedded to btc...

Bitpanda UK changes
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.

Received another email from Bitpanda advising delay in starting UK branch. Not starting today 1/8 but delayed until Monday 4/8 so accounts will not be moved over until next week so you can still buy under current terms until then
Bitpanda closed access to new UK accounts some months ago but have stated they will take new accounts once UK branch up & trading.
You will have to verify id & do quiz then wait for 24 hr cooling off before placing first deposit/btc buy

So after Bitpanda moved to UK accounts, delayed from 1/8 to 4/8 - i get nearly to the end of verification process for the process to crash & now unable to gain access for 2 days with an error message about server problems. Is anyone else experiencing these problems ?

Transaxe payment delay
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?

Yeah I am having issues made my order at 17:40 still waiting now for an hour. How long did it take for yours to go through?

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

A cautionary tale of no refund

A cautionary tale of no refund
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.

Don’t give up faith if all the info you have provided to cleanup Borg has been verified keep at transaxe support they are extremely busy I guess took me almost two weeks for a refund during the same time
🤞good luck
🤞good luck

Relieved to say, FINALLY, 4 full weeks after cancellation, refund now received. Thanks to the Borg & persist if you have the same issue.

Big shout out to Dopey,real d and the spacemen for delivery on time every time.

My go too is don loco for me perfect menu well priced always good comms and bud is always quality. If your in ireland u should be ordering off him he also lands in 3 days to rural ireland somehow

I’ve been using The Green Team for bud and hash. Their comms are not good at all which I curse them for each time but the stuff always turns up in a fairly timely manner and the quality is good. For carts I use Vapeplug and they are excellent is every way If my latest order from TGT isn’t waiting for me when I arrive home tonight then I think I’m going to jump ship and go to the Spacemen.

Canadian Imports are a sure bet for Biggaz on the vaping side :)

I’d highly advise the gentleman dealers, stay clear of new sellers with less than <100 good reviews as they tend to treat this as their local street. (Was it sent? will you get a reply at all?) but they all write nice fancy posts tricking you.

THIS USER IS TRYING TO SCAM ME OR HE IS MENTALLY UNSTABLE! 🤦♂️
The order never showed as paid on my side but the user is demanding I still send the order.
I told him to contact transaxe but the responses I get are not helpful you guys can decide for your self.
I REPEAT THIS ORDER WAS NEVER PAID FOR I HAVE ATTACHED THE PROOF

It was short by £1 to £2 which I could have paid the rest I'd d paid like 99%. It said unpaid but only because the item was it was nothing.
Anyhow he's kept 100% of the red seal even though I paid for it

I buy regularly from GC & rate him one of the best vendors. He may be trading solo so comms can be a bit slow. Why is he refusing to send? Open a dispute if you are unhappy. Hope you get it resolved

Green cats my regular vendor - never had any issues maybe the odd late delivery which is usually Royal Snails fault.
If what ur claiming is tru then use the dispute process, that's what it there for but usually the cat will sort it out

Thanks for everyone’s response! This is what I love about this community.
Mine just cleared on its own accord at 2:03 utc!!
Hope all of you guys get yours sorted too. Big love 💚

I had the same issue as you and it’s just went through as paid on transaxe so seems to be resolving itself in my case, hopefully your transaction goes through soon

Ye same issues had paid since 7am. Wallets confirmed it but still showing as unpaid on here

Yes I'm having the same problem. Paid for a item, transactions shows it has left my BTC wallet, but is saying unpaid on Little biggy and Transaxe is still saying awaiting payment.
I've had two orders like this, but one recently has now said paid. I contacted transaxe support about both earlier this morning.

Crypto Travel Rules
Are you sending straight to LB from exchange or sending to a personal wallet before sending to LB?

Crypto Travel Rules
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!

Send to an external wallet first and just say it is your own wallet.
You can probably just send it directly too, they won't have the time and resources to check every transaction, plus when you get an address for your order here, it is a fresh address with no previous transactions.

I always send from the exchange to my personal wallet first, thats fine. It's when my wallet provider starts asking where Im sending the funds thats the potential issue. Thanks Budzinho.

Easiest way around this is a non-KYC wallet like Exodus, then you're not lying if there are potential legal implications down the line when you tell your exchange that it's your own wallet (ignoring the buying drugs on line aspect, obviously...). Currently under 50p in gas fees to have that extra layer of distancing.
Really enjoyed your wares before Christmas btw. Was looking at the curtains wondering if we'd left the window open after 150mcg. We had not. Think I'm due a restock of fresh stuff soon.

Ah friend wonderful news my goodness! We really pray for the day when we can provide this service liberdade!!

I currently send from the exchange to my private wallet anyway so my concern is sending from THAT wallet to LB if they start asking. I am currently tempted to just say Im sending to another wallet I own.
I actually already have an Exodus wallet as well but I never use it due to the fact the interface was designed by Satan himself & I actually hate using it!

As long as it's a self-custodial wallet, then they aren't going to ask you for anything.
These FCA regulations only apply to FCA compliant 'exchanges' like Bitpanda, Coinbase, Kraken etc etc.
Self-custodial 'wallets' like Exodus, Coinomi, Atomic Wallet, etc etc are not exchanges or FCA compliant. They don't actually exchange coins for fiat, they are just a place to store, receive and send your coins.
Although many wallets do have some third party exchange incorporated into them, which are usually terrible on fees anyway.

Hi Friends
I have tried to warn folks last month about what is coming.
The taxman is going to look into this properly starting this year:
If you've bought crypto, sold crypto or even if you disposed of crypto (to buy some wares) and they find out you did they will want to know how/when/why and could ask to see transactions made using exchanges but also wallets.
This is so that they can claw more capital gains tax from us common people.
I had high expectations for the new UK Gov but the more goes on the more it looks like they are going to burden us with more tax (selling online anyone?) so that they can fill up the state coffers to try to offset all of th COVID debt.
Right now I have closed my Revolut account and will keep a low profile.
It does help that my fridge is holding several of your Laser Focus and Leisure Time bottles :-)
I will make it through the next year or so and will resurface once I'll have gotten a good grip on peer to peer crypto :-)

This is good thinking brother! For us sellers this is even worse as how do we get paid to keep providing our services:-/

Hi Friends
I tried to warn biggas on another of the crypto threads last month.
I was quite upset when I found out about those new crypto tax rules.
Essentially crypto now comes under capital gains tax so if you have been buying/selling or just USING crypto to buy things and services you are liable to pay tax if you exceed that threshold.
And as I was saying the new Gov has halved the CGT threshold (although to be fait the previous one did too ) :-(
I have gone through all the crypto transactions I have done since joining LB in 2022 and luckily I was under the thrshold every year but the last thing I want is have to explain what I used the BTC for.
As you know the taxman has all sorts of powers and they can request to see the transactions all the way to your wallet.
You can see for yourselves by looking at the Gov web site, obviously I do not want to link to it from hre as we do not want any traffic coming from LB onto that!
Now the good news is that I have a couple of your Laser Focus bottles and a couple of Leisure Time so I can go under ground for a good year+.
I do have a handful of edible packs left too but your medicine is really all I am going to need :-)
I will take my time during the comign year to research non-KYC crypto purchases but in the meantime:
Gone to ground...
Stay safe Friends

How is this not the top topic? I have no idea what to do. I’ve asked the seller and waiting for a response.

Thats what puzzles me tbh. Either it's no big deal, in which case fine I guess but it seems like this has the potential to really fuck things up on here depending on how strictly its done. Hopefully its the first one!

Thats kinda my hope. I mean if it was causing a lot of problems its all we would be talking about so hopefully just me being overanxious about it.

I’m with Bitpanda, I don’t have an external wallet so I put the host as Bitpanda. Not had a problem 🤷♂️

I’ve gone for it! Thanks for your help. I’ve asked many people what to do in this situation (including the seller and transaxe) and couldn’t get an answer. 🤞🏻

Thanks for the update. Hopefully just a box-ticking exercise then, glad its not caused you a problem, it can get a bit stressful when things like this happen!

I posted on another thread about this all you do is put Transaxe.com in the company box as that is who you are sending to not the vendor or Little Biggy and the new travel rules are to try and kill the bots doing btc to eth exchanges then eth back to btc and making money out the exchanges which has the side effect of raising fees for the rest of us.

Are you sending straight to LB from exchange or sending to a personal wallet before sending to LB?

So just tell the truth and say it's to your own wallet. Your wallet doesn't care about these new rules.

My personal wallet is a Blockchain DeFi wallet. I have had a notification in the app that they may start asking for details of the recipient so thats more the issue.
Im not worried about the exchange as Im genuinely sending to my own Blockchain wallet when buying BTC its the last stage Wallet > LB that has me a bit nervous.
Im not worried about the exchange as Im genuinely sending to my own Blockchain wallet when buying BTC its the last stage Wallet > LB that has me a bit nervous.

What did this notification say specifically? I also have a Blockchain DeFi wallet and nothing different has popped up while using it for me...

I don’t recall the exactly, kicking myself for not screenshotting it tbh. Basically it was a notification on the home page for the DeFi wallet app that stated something like: “To comply with local regulations we may ask you to provide details of transactions to & from your wallet. These may include Name & wallet host etc.” Something very similar to that anyway. It sounds like your setup is basically the same as mine. Exchange > Blockchain Wallet > LB. Do you usually Blockchain DeFi to pay on here then I assume? Cheers Rux

I generally use either that or Exodus. I swear the interface on the latter has got worse...I can't find the custom fee option any more, for one. Haven't had that pop up yet.

Yep. Its been a smooth setup for about 2 years now and, to be fair I have not put through a transaction since I got the notification as I am waiting on a vendor to restock so it might not even ask me.
I will give you a shout next time I put an order through & let you know what happens. Honestly Exodus has the most confusing, badly laid out setup I think Ive ever seen! Its like they TRIED to make it as bad as humanly possible, or maybe Im just too old for its bullshit 😂

Seems they're clamping down on crypto assets in the UK. Wouldn't be surprised if we see an uptick in small sellers offering various services and wares (just so they can continue to buy their smoke).

So recently I posted a topic regarding the new UK Knowledge Assessment Quiz that you have to complete in order to use Coinbase.
To reiterate, there are two parts to the assessment. For the first part just enter the lowest percentage possible on every input.
The second part is a little more tricky, you will be asked 6 random multiple choice questions.
Here is an updated list of 27 potential questions and answers;
Q1)
Which statement best describes crypto-asset price movements?
A)
Many crypto-assets experience rapid price movements meaning that prices can quickly fall and rise.
Q2)
What happens if there is a disruption at a centralized exchange;
A)
It may impact my ability to buy, sell or transfer my crypto-assets until the outage is rectified.
Q3)
What rights does Coinbase have over the crypto-assets in your account?
A)
Coinbase holds your assets 1:1 on your behalf and will not sell, transfer or loan your assets unless instructed by you or compelled by a valid court order.
Q4)
What regulatory protections currently apply to crypto assets held with centralized crypto exchanges for customers in the UK?
A)
They are not subject to any regulatory guarantees.
Q5)
Decentralized Finance and ('DeFi) tokens (e.g. AAVE) are crypto-assets linked to financial applications built on decentralized blockchain technology. What are key risks with these types of tokens?
A)
Both of the above
Q6)
Which statement best describes crypto-asset price movements?
A)
Quickly fall and rise, volatile
Q7)
When you purchase crypto assets, what are your potential losses?
A)
Lose it all
Q8)
What regulation applies to UK-based crypto-asset businesses?
A)
FCA
Q9)
Key risks of stablecoins question
A)
Both of the above – exposed to movements in USD:GBP and the asset claims to be redeemable for underlying collateral, there is risk the redemption process will not work as expected.
Q10)
What happens when you opt into staking crypto-assets held in your Coinbase account?
A)
Coinbase stakes those crypto-assets on your behalf and passes on staking rewards from the respective network(s) to you (minus a commission).
Q11)
Which statement best describes how crypto-asset exchanges compare to traditional stock market exchanges?
A)
Traditional stock market exchanges are typically highly regulated throughout the world, however crypto-asset exchanges are newer and subject to varying levels of regulation across different countries today.
Q12)
What law governs your relationship with Coinbase as a UK customer?
A)
The laws of England and Wales.
Q13)
What crypto-asset services does Coinbase offer?
A)
Both of the above.
Q14)

Bitpanda appropriateness test?

Bitpanda appropriateness test?
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.

Had to do this aswell today.
When you open the app you should get a pop up with a toggle button. Hit the button, click continue and it will take you to the test.
Its 6 questions. If you need any help give me a shout. 👍

Hi mate thanks for responding. It doesn't come up when I open the app? There is no pop up? I just get a message saying I need to take the test when I try to buy BTC but nothing to click.

When you open the app you should get a pop up called discover cash plus or something like that.
This pop up doesn't mention the questionnaire at all.

Don't think the answers matter it's just so they can cover their arse. I just did the ones I could Google then put don't know for the rest.

Update...it turns out the answers matter. I have been blocked from buying crypto for 24 hours for getting too many wrong.

Oh, it’s not like Coinbase that locks you out for ‘wrong’ answers?🤓😖
Good to know, thanks!
Good to know, thanks!

I had a winge at bitpanda about all this yesterday and was a bit curt with one of their customer service bods. Felt bad about it this morning, as it's not the customer service dudes fault, so sent him a message apologising and they credited me €5 as a gesture. So fair play to bitpanda and Nick from their customer service team.

Hi, that sounds like a pain. I have a verified acct with Bitpanda & just deposited £100, traded to btc then sent to my coins to a personal wallet. No 'appropriateness Test' but I also used my laptop not a mobile app. I have been queried in the past at other exchanges where payment went direct to the seller not to a wallet. Hope that helps & please let us know the outcome.

Just had bitpanda get in touch saying it was their fuck up something to do with an app update and a small numbers of customers have been affected.

I'm having the same problem. I'm able to deposit onto bitpanda but the I can't trade anything. Keeps saying I'm forbidden to trade anything until I complete an appropriateness questionnaire. I also been using bitpanda for years with minimum problems and can't find questionnaire anywhere

I think, according to dope dad, a pop up with the questionnaire should come up? I don't get anything? I'm on android are you apple or android?

Go on bitpanda.com not the app and click on cash plus or Google bitpanda cash plus and follow the website link. Fill in the questions and you are good to go again.

Cancelled orders and no refund
i have been waiting 2 1/2 WEEKS for a refund, have provided order number, amount & BTC address 4 times. I have been ignored, then apologised to, t…
Cancelled orders and no refund
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.

The vendor doesn’t initially get your coin, it’s held in escrow (transaxe) for 12-16 days before being released. If a vendor cancels your order your coin is safe and will be returned to you by transaxe within a couple of days.
There has been a long run of scam new customers and vendors are having to protect themselves. As a noob it is always a good idea to message a chosen vendor for a quick chat and a green light before placing your order. Good comms solves everything. You’ll soon build reputation….👍

Hi there,
Thank you for your reply. I was around on the old site but made a new account for the new site. I never had to deal with a refund before though. I appreciate you explaining that to me as I am not the best with tech. I think I will do that. I will probably just try to find one seller who is reliable. I understand that sometimes customers might say their order didn't arrive when it did or something like that. I would never do that but no one knows that. There had been a couple of instances where my order didn't arrive on the old site and thankfully the sellers did repost. The trouble with Royal Mail is a lot of the workers cotton on about such packages and think they can help themselves. It is frustrating.

There certainly are frustrations!
I’m not sure what you mean by “new site” and “old site”? LB is available on the clear net and tor, but it’s the same site as always.You can use the same log in details 👍

I don't think the vendor has the bitcoin, it's held by transaxe for a while. If you send your bitcoin address as requested then tranaxe will refund you, it took about 48 hrs for me to get refund in similar circumstances. It's frustrating but you won't lose out. That's the joy of this escrow system.
It might be worth messaging a vendor before paying if you haven't got many completed purchases.

i have been waiting 2 1/2 WEEKS for a refund, have provided order number, amount & BTC address 4 times. I have been ignored, then apologised to, then a request for information that had already been sent & then ignored again for the past 5 days. I am no longer using this site as I feel very let down after a year of top quality service. Anyone else in the same boat?
