Lindex Limit Sell Transaction taking longer than usual

[DulceDiva]

Hello.So I submitted a Limit Sell Lindex order on 13th this month .Normally it only takes about 5 days at most for me for the transaction to complete.However,it is the 21st now and my order still hasn't been completed.Are there any server issues or something? 🤔 

Is anyone else in the same situation?

There really is not specific time when doing a limit sell order.  There were a few days this past week when they were doing billing maintenance.

The best sale price recently has hovered around L$238 to  L$239 / $1 USD.  If the rate you were offering was much below that, the sale will take quite a bit of time.

What's the longest it could possibly take,from your experience? 🙂

Because LindeX exchange rates fluctuate, you may have to wait for some time before your Limit Buy (Best Rate Buy) or sell completes at your desired rate. If you set your minimum exchange rate too high, your transaction may be delayed indefinitely.

I, personally, don't sell lindens.  This info is from the knowledge base.

It really all depends on how far you set your offering price from the rate where the greatest sales volume is at the moment.  When I am selling L$, I look to see where most sales are taking place and make a sell offer that is within L$ of that price.  When I do that, a sale usually goes through within a couple of days.  The greatest volume of sales ATM is at L$238/$1.  If you set an offering price much below about L$237/$1, I would expect it to take a week or more.  Of course, if the market goes up in the meantime, your sale could take forever.

I submitted mine for L$239/$1 and it is one of the top 3 sales

Cool.  Then I would expect it to trade fairly soon.  The longer your offer sits in the queue, the closer it gets to the top.  Once others that were placed before yours are completed, you're up.  As I said, that's usually been within a couple of days for me.  If a lot of people suddenly dump L$ on the market at a higher rate, or if the number of residents buying L$ drops off a bit, it could take longer.  If you start to feel desperate -- if your land fee payment is due tomorrow, for example -- you might want to improve your chances by canceling that order and placing a new one at L$240.

More people might be selling in anticipation of RL black Friday sales.
