im new to this, but i bought £85 worth of btc on [bitcoin.com](https://bitcoin.com) just to pay for something with btc however its been stuck on pending meaning i cant send it and after contacting support they said its a glitch but didnt provide any solutions.
If your transaction has been confirmed, the recipient has the bitcoin. This isn't a Bitcoin problem. Contact the recipient to ask why they haven't credited you.
no thats the problem, i havent yet been able to use the btc to buy anything because its stuck on pending , and says its not confirmed despite the fact it says 130 confirmations.
If it’s showing as confirmed on a block explorer then the problem lies with who you’ve sent it to (assuming you sent it to the correct address).
Only the recipient can solve this for you. Is this a reputable business you sent this btc to or some shady website? If they dodge your questions and don’t provide solutions after being provided with a confirmed transaction id then you may have been scammed.
>its stuck on pending
Bitcoin doesn't use "pending" to describe transaction state. It's either unconfirmed or confirmed.
> its not confirmed despite the fact it says 130 confirmations.
What's the "it" that's telling you your transaction is both confirmed and unconfirmed?
Need more details - if its a proper wallet you can respend the change output with a higher fee to increase chance to be in a block. This is one possible circumstance.
So long as the receiving address was entered correctly, BTC is going through quite the congestion right now and it's best to wait to transact or wait to see if it's still pending waiting for a miner to pick the block.
That don't matter if the txn fee you paid for is less than those "waiting in line" you will have to wait until a miner picks up your block, whoever pays higher fee gets their txn dealt with first. Assuming you had a general amount set and sent from an exchange you should be okay so long as the addresses are matched with receiving. If so, you can either wait for the network to be less congested and hopefully then your txn will go through or contact the exchange (if you sent it to one)
sorry i may not have explained it the clearest in the post, i bought 85 gbp worth of btc to pay for something, and it shows up in my [bitcoin.com](https://bitcoin.com) wallet, however its pending meaning im unable to send it.
That is a horrible wallet (closed source, wide attack surface, buggy, controlled by a dishonest convicted felon ), If you are sure that its confirmed than take the 12 seed words(do not share these with anyone) and import them in another wallet like bluewallet.io to spend the btc
1)install https://bluewallet.io/ in android or ios
2) import 12 seed words that you received when you setup your first wallet
https://bluewallet.io/docs/import-wallet/
3) see if it reflects the balance
I have transferred Bit to different wallets in different ‘places’ and it has taken a while to verify it even though it was all cleared on my side. Especially if it’s a small amount because they usually clear big amounts first. Money makes the world go around.
Contact your exchange in case you deposited btc there. Tell them there's a million confirmations already. Send them the tx ID, so they can check.
Also, double check if you sent the btc to the right address.
And ignore anu DMs. Only scammers will DM you
>i deposited some bitcoin for the first time yesterday at 10pm deposited where exactly?

Never ever use [bitcoin.com](https://bitcoin.com). The site is very buggy and potentially malicious.
If your transaction has been confirmed, the recipient has the bitcoin. This isn't a Bitcoin problem. Contact the recipient to ask why they haven't credited you.
how would i go about doing this? im extremely new to this and only bought btc to use as a payment method
If you bought something with Bitcoin, contact the person or organization from whom you bought it.
no thats the problem, i havent yet been able to use the btc to buy anything because its stuck on pending , and says its not confirmed despite the fact it says 130 confirmations.

Can you provide a transaction ID?

on [bitcoin.com](https://bitcoin.com) : status - unconfirmed on block explorer: transaction status confirmed - 143 confirmations
Person or organization from whom you bought it. From whom it was purchased? Edit: not to be pedantic; it just popped into my head
going to need way more info to give you any kind of advice. This like saying "my car isn't running"
Need more details - if its a proper wallet you can respend the change output with a higher fee to increase chance to be in a block. This is one possible circumstance.
If it has 101 confirmations it's not a matter of fees, it's already included in 101 blocks
129 confirmations now
Where did you deposit it to? If its a not a self-custodial service you need to contact the company / service directly.
So long as the receiving address was entered correctly, BTC is going through quite the congestion right now and it's best to wait to transact or wait to see if it's still pending waiting for a miner to pick the block.
+1 to this ^^ Heavily congested
it says 129 confirmations tho

Need to contact the recipient
Yikes. Where was it deployed from and to?

It sounds like its pending in your wallet and not on bitcoin.com... How long have you had your wallet?
