I just had an OKPAY deposit fail and money lost. Deposit was successful on OKPay side but BTC-E isn't recognizing any deposit. Support tickets are being closed without any reply from BTC-E. Its not just me either,
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=307729.40I liked using the exchange and had no trouble getting crypto in there, but it has been impossible sending USD and support is a no show. I think I'll be moving my business to Mt Gox.
I like btc-e and use it every day - but I really don't think USD in is an option - get your btc somewhere else - send it there (verifies three times and you KNOW its there) and THEN start trading...
I feel the same way about most exchanges - treat the initial loss as an ''arbitrage fee'' and go from there...
Yes I like it as well - very easy to use and smallest % for transactions - but deposit sometimes is hard
