Thanks guys and/or girls.. If it wasn't for you people my hair would be in a heap on the floor by now.
I was using Coinbase for selling BTC. I would appreciate any other recommendations for selling in the US.
I do now have an Electrum wallet. I tried doing a sweep from my Blockchain wallet but it was a no-go after their recent site 'upgrade'.
I did find a fraud hotline for Coinbase - 800 343 5845. I requested a callback.
If it's no joy there I'll be calling their investors next.
Rizz - it just occurred to me that I owe someone some money due in a few months and she is happy to accept BTC. I might end up doing exactly that. Paper wallet and wait for amateur hour to be over
