You're rant isn't very clear but my understanding is that you're saying they have extremely strict kyc and it's essentially locking you out from withdrawals? Local bitcoins built their reputation on anonymous face to face transactions and now it's just a shitty exchange. I would definitely not use them but you're probably going to have to bend over backwards with private information to get your coins back.

i haven't done any selling of bitcoin in a long time and when I did it was using LBC for face to face transactions (like I said on another site i made a thread on I have been a member of LBC for almost 7 years) so when I needed to quickly sell some for venmo or paypal I went with what I knew and had previously has good experiences with. But yea this is where I think they're dping it on purpose and bring shady because bow I have to either play their games (which I wouldn't have bothered with I'd have just gone somewhere else) or surrender my coins to them so either they get a customer to invest time into satisfying them which for many because of sunk cost fallacy will lead people who would have left to stick around and use the service or they get surrendered BTC. This is why I think they hide then lengths you're ron na have to go AND tell you youll be able to withdraw if you decide its not worth it. Without both of those things I'd never have deposited my coins.

Let it be clear in the beginning of this my account told me I just needed to verify my phone number basically to turn trading back on. I started my deposit and then began the process (as most would i think since it also says you can withdraw no problem so by the time you can trade your coins will be there) and it wasnt until I went into my settings and tried to add and verify my number that it told me that no, I can't even go through verifying my number because of this forced vacation shit. This is when I said oh nevremind and tried to withdraw my coins. And here we are. And i am really unhappy. The CM on reddit, who i private messaged, asked for my ticket number several hours ago and i haven't heard back from them but based on how they've responded to others (80%of the posts on the LBC subreddit are similar complaints) im not expexting much.

All I want is a transfer initiated of my coins back to the address they came from. This shouldn't be a problem at all. But it apparently is a huge deal and I think it's for the reasons i said. A deliberate effort to put me and others like me in a bad position where me must invest time into their site or surrender our coins.

I fully intend to use the proceeds from those coins if it takes me days or weeks to get them back to purchase ads everywhere I can linking to threads like this one and highlighting how poorly and unfairly this site is being run.
