I used a website to sell some BTC (https://bit29.com/sy/web/) it seemed legitimate and was top of the search results on yahoo. I sent 2.45 BTC to an address provided by the site yet recieved no money. I can see from blockchain that it is sat in a wallet and has not been touched. Is their any way to get my BTC back? Or to track down who might own that wallet ID? 

I did notice that when you put in a sell order and clicked to proceed on the website it gave a different BTC address to send the coins to each time.

Anyone any suggestions?

Cheers

I think you can post the transaction details which you sent, the transaction is not reversible that is the main concept of Bitcoin. once sent is sent. You have to wait or just send the transaction details to that site and report the problem with them. If they are legit site they will reply you with the details. If not then just think that you got scammed and learn a lesson that without enquirying about any site dont do any type of transaction like this.
