I have deposited $500 by wire transfer and it landed on my btc-e account within 24 hours, which was very nice.
I have bought some BTC and wanted to withdraw BTC but then it says Money hold. 702 hours left
*Depositing money through the wire transfer. The time of the hold is from 1 month. It can be removed by providing your IDs through the ticket.
That's ok.
What actually made me think is that two days ago the minimum deposit was $500, but after they received it, today the minimum deposit (min sum allowed) is $2,000
It looks like "hey, the first transfer went ok, send us the next now... with more money".
Any comments on this?
What's sad about the 1 month hold is they say if you submit ID and Utility they will remove but I can confirm submitting multiple times to no avail. They will make you wait at least 1 month. DO NOT wire money unless you're fine waiting that long to be able to withdraw USD and COINS (They hold everything). So in addition to waiting for them to credit your account they will make you wait another month to withdraw anything. If your fine leaving your cash in an exchange for 2 months then more power to you for the huge pair but seems like every week one is either hacked or implodes...
