Crypto.com made it so much easier for me!

[Tbagger]

I found crypto dot com to be pricey. I use only Exodus

I just think of it as a convenience fee. I’m not too worried about an extra few bucks here and there.

I ended up making my purchase through Exodus.

But ya'll, why didn't I know that to send it to the vendors, you had to withdraw it to an outside wallet and put it in the vendor's wallet address? LOL

I was looking for an actual SEND option.

That was messing me up.

Thanks for the replies.

I was able to chat with a real person at crypto.com and was informed that it is a full 7 business days to wait before $ will be available to withdrawal to an external wallet. If your deposit is done on a Sunday they count Monday as day zero and then seven more business days after that. If there is a holiday that will also postpone a day. So, with weekend deposits and a holiday. It was close to two weeks before funds were available. They finally became available.

I can now adventure on to placing my first order!!!

That's crazy! Get on Exodus and do everything from there. It's cheaper too

Dumb question:

So if they give you a price, you buy the currency in USD then send it. For instance, if I’m quoted $75 and I buy $75 worth of USDC crypto, it’s not the same price, it’s about $71.59.

Does it have to be $75 in usd to convert or $75 in USDC crypto?

The amount of the crypto matches the amount of the purchase. Think of it as the currency is crypto, not US$.

It's the same concept as converting from one currency to any other currency.

That's crazy. I have never waited more than an hour or two and have made around a dozen purchases through crypto.com. I purchase the currency I want to use then transfer it right away. I don't know why you had to wait. Sorry for my recommendation costing you two extra weeks.

I appreciate the recommendation. Although I can purchase coin right away, they told me 7 business days wait to transfer to an external wallet.

Since this is new territory for me, I get a little impatient. I plan to continue using Crypto.com. I’ll just transfer in $ in after each purchase to allow for it to clear for the next. No big deal.

Thanks again!

Literally 2 hours after I posted that last night, I added $450 of BTC to my wallet via my debit card and then transferred it to my vendors wallet about an hour later. It's weird that you are getting a 7 day hold. Was it maybe a 1 time thing for your first time? The only issue I have run into is my vendors wallets being flagged as scammers and not letting me transfer. So far it's happened to both Uther and WWB.

So, the 7 day hold is for instant bank transfers.

A little less time for ACH transfers.

I deposited with debit card this time and a half hour later I check to see and i can now transfer to external wallet. I expect the no waiting period if using crypto transfer as well.

I’ll be going the debit card deposit route from now on.

Thanks again for your follow up! It helped.

Off to placing my second research order!!!

What if you don't have a debit card? We've never had one, and don't really want one.

Other forms of deposit will work but take a little more time to clear for external wallet withdrawals.

You can do a bank transfer but it has a waiting period. You could always try one of the prepaid debit cards you can buy at the grocery store. I don't see why one of those wouldn't work.
