I have had a problem with LBTC, my account has been locked for two years, I have passed all the verification tests and even settled all disputes with all but one seller who seems to know that. He has kept asking for more and more funds to help unlock my account even that I send it off-site.

I reached an agreement with him and even offered to pay twice the amount of the transaction from my LBTC balance but when I instruct the site to pay him they Send Me this Message

Thank you for contacting us.

Is not possible for LocalBitcoins to deduct the amount from your wallet, the refund must be done externally.

Let us know if you have any more questions.

This seller is flaky and comes online like once a month am afraid he will just keep doing this

How can one force LBTC to pay him and let me access my account and withdraw my BTC, I really have hated their support and I don't want to trade with them again. I also think they want to Keep the 0.2BTC balance I have in an account with them, is it legal for them to do so as they offer no justification.
