Took offer to buy BTC thru National Bank Transfer method. Paid $10 extra for next day delivery of funds to their account. Sent funds to their account online using the account / routing numbers they gave me. Transfer has been cleared for over 24 hours now and still they have not released the funds to me. Opened a support ticket and thought maybe I could reach out to the arbitrator here?

This is @cbeams address if I’m not wrong.  
He’s in Europe, so he’ll probably answer in the next hours (morning just begins in Europe).  
There are often some delays on week-ends, but 99.9% of time the trade ends well.

Whoever the arbitrator is, they have messaged me and told me that I opened the ticket before the trade window was up. I feel so stupid 😕 I was just being impatient I guess, I thought since everything had cleared on my end that they must be withholding the funds for some reason and felt like there must be an issue. I am waiting for the trade window to close now - not much longer, a little less than 8 hours. Will keep the forums updated.

Thank you for your input !

very shortly after I replied they have gotten back to me again and told me that they are currently talking to the third party. The arbitrator is giving me some **very** valuable information about the trading process for which I am very grateful 😃  
will update again later on whatever happens @Homard

Yeah, don’t use cmd+o unless there is an issue that will certainly cause the trade to fail.

Update:  
I’ve been speaking with the arbitrator, he informed me a little more about what the opt+o command is supposed to be used for. @alexej996 thank you for your input, I hope that this will be solved soon… I sent my funds thursday of last week. If anything, I really want my security deposit back- it was .05 btc ☹

Does anyone know how to reclaim the security deposit if my trade is never resolved?

UPDATE:  
Fees arrive and funds were paid out. Thank you so much to all who provided input and especially to the arbitrator. You guys are the best!
