Little bummed out, I guess it's my fault but I got a quote for some coins after banks were closed in my area, so I went the next day and deposited the money and the sellers coins were all already gone... so now he has my money, I have no coins, and bitcoin-brokers can't seem to get in touch with the guy... it's basically the same situation I posted about before. Hopefully he's a good dude and comes through.
In case anybody is curious, this transaction is complete. The seller released the bitcoin to the buyer.
At the bottom of all quotes, clients are reminded that they need to complete transactions by a certain time. When buyers are quoted a price, Bitcoin-Brokers needs to place a hold on the seller's bitcoin. If and when a deposit is not made that same day, Bitcoin-Brokers releases the hold on the bitcoins so that a new buyer has the opportunity to purchase the bitcoin the following day.
In this situation, Bitcoin-Broker had sold all the seller's bitcoin, so when the buyer made the deposit the next day, there were no bitcoin held in escrow. Luckily the seller and I worked through all the deposits into his account and we were able to determine that the buyer had indeed made the deposit. The seller transferred the bitcoin to Bitcoin-Brokers and the buyer has now had his bitcoin transferred.
If anybody fails to make the cut-off time for a deposit in the future, simply ask for a new quote for the next day. This will prevent this sort of thing from ever happening.
Thanks.
