So, I just upgraded to Member, and had 50% off discount. So I've just quickly sent the bitcoin knowing I am sending $2, but I've actually sent $5.30. Site shows $2, then bitpay requests $5. This might be due to btc price rising and not updating the upgrade price. I'd apprecaite if I can get the $3 back.

I will provide blockchain and bitcoin address.

Those are probably fees.
 
The payment was $4.00 not $2.00. The discount is only good for 24 hrs and it appears to have expired before you upgraded.

Aug 11 - 5:58am - Register time
Aug 13 - 6:39am - Upgrade time

You waited about 49 hrs, so the discount expired long ago.

I didnt have my phone number verified so that discount message wasnt visible, it just popped up once I verified it. If it already expired why did it show up? And, but still im pretty sure I paid $5.30, not $4. I sent exactly 0.001311 which according to preev.com is $5.20 right now. If you choose the localbitcoins source it even goes to $6. Now I am aware the price fluctuates so I went and check bitpay's rate which is about $3,950.82 per btc which adds up roughly about the amount mentioned above ($5.20), and what I paid ($5.30). Bitpay's fees are 1% per transaction. If we calculate the fees from the amount I apparently paid(which is $4) that adds up to $4.04

So all in all, originally I should have paid $2.02, discount apparently expired but price on the site still remained the same ~$2, had to pay full price($4.04), ended up paying $5.30. Thats +128% the price I originally aimed to pay for the upgrade.

At this point you'd be thinking look at this jew trying to prove a point for a buck or two. Not looking to get back these bucks just wanted say the numbers dont really add up. The site advertises one price, then in btc it asks more..

Last question, when will I get the badge? :)

Your right, the timer doesn't start until you verify a phone number and I see it's still going on your account, so you should have received the 50% discount.

Checking our upgrade logs, it appears to be an issue with Bitcoin only. Paypal users are receiving the discount rate and since we have so a few members upgrading with Bitcoin, we didn't catch this bug.

We'll have it fixed asap.

I can give you $2 worth of credits if you like.

For the fee, you can see the blockchain here
https://insight.bitpay.com/tx/6225eb75d09b0e640b39e8f0781902c219680aa91a740c4fdbc10d6c37bf4f0c

I made a post about Bitcoin fees a few months ago that you can read here
https://www.epicnpc.com/threads/1135594-Bitcoin-Fees-Increased

The blockchain shows the fee as FEE: 0.00105747 BTC which is $4.21, which can't be right since you're saying the total cost was about $5.20.\

I don't know why the fee shows that number, but those are the new bitcoin network fees as of March 2017. There's nothing we can do to change those, but you can contact your bitcoin walled to get more info about why that blockchain fee shows $4.21.
 
Might be a fee subject to sending to wallets outside of localbitcoins, I dont know. Anyway sure, credit works. While you are at it, throw me a "bug finder" badge. ;);)

Anyway how long for the member badge?
 
Upgrades can take up to 24 hrs to process.

I added 250 credits to your account. To get the award badge, you have to request it, I can't just add it to your account.
