Understanding 'Paid but Not Delivered' Issues
Delivery Issue vs Normal Processing
A genuine delivery issue means payment confirmation appears in your bank statement, but your Likee balance stays unchanged after the expected window. Standard delivery: 5-30 minutes. First-time purchases: 24-48 hours for verification.
Wallet syncs every 15-30 minutes—minor delays don't indicate problems. Peak hours (6-10 PM) extend processing 50-100%. Off-peak (2-6 AM) averages 5-10 minutes.
For persistent issues, BitTopup offers reliable alternatives with guaranteed delivery tracking and 24/7 support.
Transaction Lifecycle
Your purchase follows this path: payment selection → gateway processing → Likee server confirmation → Diamond allocation.
Status indicators (Profile > Wallet > Transaction Log):
- Clock icon: pending
- Red X: failed
- Green checkmark: completed
Common Causes
60-70% of failures: Likee ID mismatches. Your Likee ID is a 10-digit number in your profile—wrong digits send Diamonds to wrong accounts.
Network issues: Require minimum 1-2 Mbps connection.
Account limits: Unverified accounts capped at 5,000-10,000 Diamonds monthly.
System maintenance: Temporarily pauses delivery during announced schedules.
