Bought BItcoins before selecting wallet. How do I find them?

Tue Feb 21, 2017 7:10 pm

Hello, I am new to bitcoins. I purchased them with my CC and the payment went through via Simplex, and got approved. I didn't select a wallet beforehand. Where are they now and how do I access them if I didn't choose a wallet first.

First of all: where did you buy those bitcoins? Each vendor has his own system of purchasing and withdrawing, so if we don't know where you purchased them, there is no way you can get help i'm afraid.

Didn't they ask you before or after the purchase what your wallet address is? The bitcoins have to go somewhere.

And yea, we need more info.

Usually when you purchase bitcoin, the funds will be held on the site where you purchased them from, or they will ask for a bitcoin address. Please tell is which one of the two it was, and then we can help you. If neither, you may have been scammed. Please tell us the website where you bought it. Thanks!

The user did state in the OP that he purchased the coins via Simplex and since they are posting here about it then i would assume that they purchased them from buy.bitcoin.com but can't be sure until they answer.

Simplex is a payment gateway, is it not? I've seen multiple Bitcoin sellers use Simplex. I'm sure he wouldn't have this problem when using buy.bitcoin.com, since one of the first things you ask for is the Bitcoin address.

Yeah good point, i haven't actually used our buy.bitcoin.com before so don't know exactly how it works, i might have a look into this weekend.
