I’m really frustrated with this domain sale payment. Sold it over two months ago for dollars, but no cash in my UK bank. They say payment was sent, but I can't get the M103 report. Anyone else having Swift issues?

I saw your post and wow, it’s crazy that Swift of all things is taking this long. You mentioned it’s like a middleman, right? Can’t you complain to them through your bank? I keep pushing for Bitcoin instead of going through all this.

Still no payment, and no MT103 document either. Spent ages on this, thinking maybe I should launch a site on RobotBanker.com to rant about banking problems, AI stuff, all that. Just need to make some cash!

Fingers crossed everything checks out when you finally get the info. Just hope there’s no mistake in the details, or else it could be a scam.

Honestly, I think most of us here are way better at understanding blockchain transactions than traditional banking. You mentioned waiting a while, how long has it been? My banker friend says it should take up to 5 days max.

Banks usually don’t process payments on weekends. It might take 1-3 business days depending on the banks involved. I’d give it until Tuesday before freaking out. I mean, sometimes things get held up but it usually gets sorted.

Man, that sucks. Two months for a bank transfer is ridiculous. You mentioned before you think the buyer sent the payment. Did you request the M103 from the escrow service?

I prefer payment in Bitcoin or USDT, but that’s just me. I know options are tricky sometimes, but I explain to clients how easy it is. I’m sticking with what works for me.

You know better options exist, but sometimes it’s just about what’s available. Don’t beat yourself up over it. Take it as a lesson for next time and go for clearer payment methods that don’t leave you in the dark.
