So now only 1 SEPA request every 20 days? Then they should put that in the notice goddamnit.
This is where Mark/Gox fails. They could have put this in their press releases but failed to do so. Hence buying more time due to more excuses. Now one has to cancel previous pending withdrawals and merge them into one to "allow withdrawal to go faster". lol
Have you ever written a press release? It is supposed to be as short as possible. A press release listing every little detail will get ignored by the press. I have asked support to make a page listing all current withdrawal issues and expected time for the various methods, and hope this helps.
If you people had bothered to ask support why your SEPA withdrawals were slower than expected, which would only take a minute, you would have got the same answer as the guy i cited. Why do people bother with multiple microtransactions via SEPA anyway? Doing all in one withdrawal makes sense. It lessens the load for everyone.
There was a time (still may be true) that small transactions were used to fill in the little gap between a few larger wires clumped together and the actual banks limit.
To explain since that sentence didn't make much sense....
Say MTgox can send 50k a day SEPA.
They have 3 15k wires, totalling 45k, then they take 10-15 smaller wires to fill in the gap.
This was mentioned by tux at one point on IRC (ages ago), and i'm not going to dig up the reference, but I bet it can be found someone in this thread.
Also, withdraws over 10k are specifically noted to take a minimum of 2 weeks on gox's FAQ.
This 20 day stuff is all news to me though.
