When we receive a Bitcoin or crypto amount lower than the product price displayed on the payment screen, we will proceed with a refund for the amount you’ve sent to us, please send an email to info@CryptoRefills.com with your order details you’ve received from us.

My transaction is not confirming on the network. What can I do?

If the fee estimations are not accurate (especially from non-reputable wallets) and when there is a high load on the network, transactions can take long time to be confirmed so that receiving your product. Based on the cryptocurrency which you make the payment with, this might take from a few seconds to up to few days. If you haven’t provided high enough transaction fees for 3rd party validators to process your transaction, it may never be validated and your transaction will end up not being confirmed. Your Bitcoin and crypto will always be safe during this time and they will appear in your wallet again.

Understanding Network Fees (aka Transaction Fees or Network Confirmation Fees)

Network fees or transaction fees or network confirmation fees are additional amounts you pay to get your transaction to be confirmed on the blockchain. The network fee is required for every payment you do without exceptions. This fee depends on the congestion of the network (network load) and the size of your transaction.
Since transactions with higher estimated fees are prioritized, you need to use a resonable fee for the payment to be processed in a reasonable timeframe and complete your payment.
If you would like your transaction to have a timely confirmation on the network and complete your payment on time, please include a sufficient network fee from your wallet. If the fee estimations are not accurate and when there is a high load on the network, transactions can take long time to be confirmed so that receiving your product.

In some cases, you might think that you’ve sent the correct amount but we still might not receive the full amount because of the fees that your exchange or wallet applies to you when you make a transfer to us. So make sure that you take this into account while sending your crypto to us.

If you make a payment from your wallet:
Most wallets take fees into account for outgoing transactions which will help make sure your payment arrives on time. You can check your wallet settings to make sure your wallet include a dynamically-calculated fee to enable this.

If you make a payment from an exchange:
If you are sending from an exchange or custodial wallet, you might also be charged a withdrawal fee and they might deduct it from the amount you are sending to us so you will be short on the amount you must send to complete your payment. So please consider this and take into account for the exchange’s withdrawal fee before sending your crypto. Please also consider that some exchanges might not include network fees when they transfer funds. Instead, they will deduct the network fee from your transaction which can cause your payment will arrive us short.

So please make sure that you take these into account while sending your crypto to us.

Why is there a 15-minute countdown timer on the order?

Because of the floating exchange rates of BTC and crypto prices, we give you a price in Bitcoin or crypto for 15 minutes. If 15 minutes passed you can always start your payment over again and if BTC or crypto price is the same, you will always pay the same price to buy with the same BTC or crypto amount.

The litecoin LTC wallet address isn’t working

On CryptoRefills we use the native-segwit format (also known as bech32). A Litecoin address that starts with LTC
It’s a relatively new address encoding scheme for segwit addresses, and some exchanges, explorers, and wallets don’t currently support it. We recommend using a wallet as Coinomi.

I received an email that says “Complete the amount” / “Send the missing amount”

Even though you think you’ve sent the correct amount, we still might not receive the full amount because of the fees that your exchange or wallet applies to you when you make a transfer to us.
In this case, you will receive an email from us asking you to send the missing amount to complete the payment.
To help you understand better;
– If you send the amount from an exchange or custodial wallet, you are charged a withdrawal fee which is deducted from the amount you send to us so you will be short on the amount for us to complete your payment.
– It is be also possible that some exchanges do not include network fees when they transfer funds. If this is the case, they deduct the network fee from the amount you transfer to us which make the amount to arrive us short.
So please make sure that you take this into account while sending your crypto to us.

My Amazon US account blocked / suspended and orders cancelled

Amazon US strictly enforces their terms and conditions. According to Amazon’s terms and conditions, Amazon USD cards are redeemable in USA only. Amazon’s anti-fraud process locks cards and accounts if they suspect their terms are broken, the most common reason is being outside of the USA and/or using a VPN, but there are others like: reselling/dropshipping, adding a gift card on a brand new account with no other payment methods added, adding excessive amount of high denomination gift cards in a short time period, and others.

You can read the full terms and conditions of Amazon USD Gift Cards here and here.

The breach of Amazon US’s terms and conditions may result in a permanent suspension of the Amazon US account and cancelation of the pending orders, as well as the loss of all funds previously deposited in the Amazon US account.

Why does it cost more cryptocurrency than the face value of the product?

We believe blockchain based digital currencies have the potential to solve some of the world’s most important problems such as financial inclusion, protection, privacy and freedom. With Cryptorefills we are on a mission to bring blockchain based payments into everyday life and accelerate mass adoption of cryptocurrency.

This is not an easy mission.

As any blockchain business, we are facing enormous technological, business and regulatory challenges while making sure that we meet our regulatory, operational, and market requirements to bring our services to you.

In order for us to do all these, we need an adequate liquidity capabilities and not to lose money. As a result, it may cost you a bit more than the face value of the product you are buying.

Needless to say, volatility of cryptocurrency you choose to pay with, and the product suppliers we work with to get the gift cards and top ups are also affecting the pricing of the products while you are paying for them with crypto. We try to bring you products and brands in over 235 countries and territories.

We work hard to make sure that that you, as a consumer, are getting always a fair rate.

The product I want to buy is out of stock / I receive “Product out of stock” notification

If you are receiving “Product Out of Stock” notification, please be advised that the product you choose is out of stock temporarily.
Expected time of supply of the product might change from 6 hours to 24 hours. So we recommend that you check the availability of the product after 6 hours to see if the product is restocked.

Helpful hint: while the product you have choosen is not available, you can check other pricing packages for the same gift card or top up brand which might be in stock and available for purchase instead. For example, if you would like to buy 200 EUR Steam Gift Card and it is out of stock, you can try 100 EUR Steam Gift Card which might be available and add it 2 times to your shopping cart.

We don’t want any of our products to be out of stock and do our best to restock such products as soon as possible.

Network / Transaction fees are too high. My transaction is stuck /pending on mempool. Why? What can I do?

Network fees or transaction fees or network confirmation fees are additional amounts you pay to get your transaction to be confirmed on the blockchain. Each transaction requires this fee. The fee is usually low, however as Bitcoin transaction volumes increase and so does mempool, sometimes fees get higher and your transaction gets caught on the mempool and it might take long time to complete your transaction.

In such times, you can avoid increased Bitcoin network fees and long waiting times by using alternative payment options you have at CryptoRefills:

– The Lightning Network (LN). CryptoRefills supports the Lightning Network payments and there are a lot of wallets supporting the LN
– Litecoin. Average transaction fees of Litecoin is cheaper to send and use than Bitcoin

My Steam Wallet Code / Steam Gift Card Code is not working

There could be several reason why the Steam wallet or gift card code is not working. Please check below the most common reasons listed and make sure your issue is not one of them.

1. The code may be invalid
Please carefully verify the characters as you re-enter the code and double check to see if you’ve mistyped your key. I, L, and 1 can look alike, as can V and Y, and 0 and O.

2. Enter the correct code
The pin code is the code that you need to enter into the redeem field on your steam account. We also send a pin serial for security reasons. Please be sure that you are entering a pin code and not a pin serial.

Which network should I choose from “Available networks”?

Depending on the cryptocurrency you want to pay with, there might be different networks that can run your transaction for that cryptocurrency.

At this moment we support the following networks: Ethereum mainnet, Avalanche, Polygon, Fantom, Arbitrum and Binance Smart Chain. Please note that due to relatively high networks fees on the Ethereum mainnet a minimum order amount is required.

At CryptoRefills, you can pay with different cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Tether (USDT) and more. Depending on the cryptocurrency you want to pay with, there will be available networks that can run your transaction for that cryptocurrency.
For example, if you would like to pay with Bitcoin (BTC), you can choose to complete your transaction either on the BTC Mainnet or BTC Lightning Network. Similarly, if you would like to pay with USDC, you can choose to complete your transaction either on the Avalanche network, Fantom network, Polygon network, or Arbitrum network.

Please make sure to choose the network of your choice before you proceed with the transaction. For example, if you would like to pay with Lightning, make sure that BTC Lightning Network has been selected before you proceed to the next step.

Why did I pay more than the price I see?

Fees are required for every payment you do without exceptions. Your exchange or wallet applies this fee as a network fee and/or withdrawal fee. The network fee is usually low, but as crypto transaction volumes increase fees might get higher. If you are transfering your crypto from an exchange your exchange might apply a withdrawal fee as well. If you’ve paid more than the price you’ve seen you have had an issue with these fees. Please make sure you check your wallet settings for network fees or your exchange’s withdrawal fees they apply when you are transfering your crypto to us. Please read this answer to understand the fees better.

What is the Avalanche Network

Can I mine Bitcoin or other cryptocurrency on my PC?

Bitcoin cannot be mined with average CPUs anymore. Mining other cryptocurrency on your PC is possible for some cryptocurrencies but it can be a slow and costly proces (i.e. cost of electricity) and even may cost you more than the value of the cryptocurrencies you can mine if you don’t have a powerful PC. Instead, you can participate in an open hash power marketplace and sell the hash power of your PC and earn some Bitcoin in return. If you have a strong PC with a mid-level GPU or above, you can mine other cryptocurrencies and earn Bitcoin by joining a hashing power marketplace like NiceHash with your idle PC.
