ya!! it seems surprisingly shoddy. I remember trying to buy into an ICO once and had probably a similar issue, like it seemed to send but then didn't send.. and I'd try again, and same thing. (it was probably some kind of scam nonsense anyways lol.)
at the time I think I assumed I did something wrong.. now I'm learning that ETH just kind of is like that haha
(not trying to hate or FUD.. I have nothing to gain by talking down ETH.. just disappointed by it)
cheers @bidbots!
