gotcha, but it sounds like there's no news...

You had your account verified and the transaction went thru...

did I miss something?

Okay, let me fill in some details. Throughout the last week I had to send in the same photo of my ID twice, after already submitting it last September, as their system repeatedly verified and unverified my account. At the time, I thought it was just a software glitch. Then, after waiting about a week for my funds to clear, they suspended my account before even trying to contact me, and cancelled those transactions. On the phone, I was led to believe that they wouldn't reinstate my account unless I sent them my latest bank statement going back 30 days, which I am not willing to do. At this point, even if I had confidence that they won't suspend my account again (and I have no such confidence), it would take another week for those funds to clear. Instead, I've wired the funds directly to MtGox. Hope that clears it up.

Thanks ben-abuya for adding the details. I agree that the resending of info seems unnecessary and silly/stupid.

However, I also expect that from Dwolla as this is just one more step towards them being Paypal.

I appreciate you taking the time to share you experience and voice concern.

Mind me asking how much the wire transfer cost you? I'm guessing for me the fact that wire transfers cost more than zero is still the reason I'm ok with dealing with Dwolla thru their idiocracy...

I expect that they are going to be dumb and potentially freeze my assets b/c they don't make any money from me. However, I'm guessing the amount of transaction fees I've saved over the past 24 months well exceeds how much they may confiscate from me in the future since I don't transfer more than $1,500 at any one point in time and can wait 6 months to have it returned according to the process.
