Recently, I bought £350 worth of bitcoins back when they where £37 the other day. They've taken over a day to get through to me and when I have received them I only have 7.7 (compared to the 9.1 that I need). I appears they have charged me at today's prices instead of the ones that where the current price the other day. Even though when I purchased the coins it said I was buying £350@37 a coin.

Is it normal practice to do this?

  • When you say they took over a day, was that a day when they had your money? Or was that a day before the money got to them? How did you pay? By what method?

    I gave them the money on "Day 1" at 3:00pm when the going rate was £37 a coin. I paid via PingIt so I think it should be almost instant. I recieved my bitcoins on "Day 3" at 5am when the going rate was about £42 a coin. I hope this clears things up.

  • That sounds like a problem. You should talk to them.

    Right, just called up and it looks like Barclays (The owners of pingit) where completely overwhelemed at the point and so where slow to process it. The person I talked to was very helpful and is going to send me the extra amount now. I contacted him at this number: (+44) 7525 431876

    Thanks Marche. The person I spoke to just now was also very helpful and we seem to have resolved the issue (related to trying two transactions at once). I must say I'm very impressed with their customer service. Edited to add: fixed, within 10 minutes.

In hindsight, I think they where just incredibly busy with orders and so where slow putting it through.
