Oh well, we'll see. I have one last question. I uploaded a picture of the check I was sending to them (EC) as well as my DL and became an "Advanced Member". Cannot find the uploaded pics now at EC in my account. Should I ask them what happened to this?

Usually exchanges are required to do this by AML/KYC laws. Ask them, but I suspect you will get an answer similar to: sorry, gotta keep that in case the government knocks.

IS IT SAFE???

You can avoid this in the future if you trade directly with someone else, e.g. by meeting in person. Prices are usually a bit higher (~ +5%) when meeting in person, but if privacy is a concern it might be worth it.

NO FUTURE I GOT BURNED BECAUSE THIS IS ALL TO COMPLICATED

I want to delete it as it has my bank account number listed on the check and DL info. So scared of identity theft. Boy this is all giving me an ulcer. Wish I had done some research before jumping in.
