Thank you both for trying to help me...

I'm.sooooooo.confused.

 Cry  

I know I'm probably not using the correct terminology.

I have a wallet on blockchain.

I went to localbitcoins and found a seller. Made a bank deposit and came home.

Localbitcoins then showed my successful receipt of (albeit small fractional) funds...

It says it's in my "localbitcoins wallet."

Yep, now I see that I have a localbitcoins wallet and funds there.

However - I have no idea what those funds are attached to... what the address is or keys are or anything of the sort. I just... have funds there.

I was confused. I gave the seller the address for my blockchain wallet and thought that's where the BTC would go instead.

It didn't.

I'm still confused. I see that I can send the BTC that are in the localbitcoins wallet to my blockchain address myself... but I'm not sure if that's what I should do.

So - I have funds in localbitcoins but don't see an address or key, don't understand how to "confirm" or whatever and I'm unsure if I should send the BTC to my blockchain wallet, which I only have a penny or two in.

So, sooooooo lost.

Sad
