Sorry but I have been emailing them for a week with one single reply and nothing since 4 days. How on earth can you say I am in the wrong here. Either their support is the worst support I've ever seen or what I said is true.
Your thoughts might make sense but I can show you countless examples where even though a company makes money they will do anything to make more. I have countless of examples with Cryptsy doing this for example.
I totally understand your frustration after 4 days. I would be upset also.
When you deposit BTC at localbitcoins you basically loan the BTC to them and they then
own the BTC seeing as they have the private keys for the BTC at that point.
There is nothing you can do, including passwords or 2FA, that would prevent them from stealing your BTC if that is what they have in mind.
Posting here is a good way to possibly bring their attention to the issue but I would not hold your breath.
100% of my locatbitcoins.com transactions have been perfect. I would not hesitate to do business there again.
I agree with you but, have you had your password changed? If not, then your comment is not relevent to the current conversation.
