Paid the seller but did not receive my Bitcoin

Checking the 17PvS.. address, there are a number of transactions in and out. It is perhaps worth mentioning that by design, bitcoin addresses should be used just once, to help protect your financial privacy.

The transaction ID you linked is for a transaction that has been confirmed, if the funds are not appearing in your wallet then I would guess that either your wallet is out of sync with the network, or someone has hacked your wallet and stolen the coins. Considering the 17PvS.. has outgoing transactions after the transaction you linked, I fear the latter may be the case for you.

(Also, for what its worth, I would not use blockexplorer.com. They have decided to refer to bitcoin cash as bitcoin, which makes using their site very confusing. In my answer I assume you are using bitcoin, and not bitcoin cash)

I would second that comment on blockexplorer.com, the site was bought out and switched to bicoin cash, which is massively confusing as you say. – Daniel Morritt – 2018-01-19T13:26:30.063

Thanks guys for your time! Does that mean there is nothing else i can do to retrieve them? – inchaos – 2018-01-20T03:07:49.630

If you do not control the addresses the coins were transferred to (after leaving 17PvS...), then you will have to contact whoever owns that address and ask for them back. There is no other way, transactions are not reversible or refundable. – chytrik – 2018-01-20T12:14:47.410

how do I contact that person? Any way I can know who is that person? – inchaos – 2018-01-21T13:54:47.790

You would have to find that info out for yourself, identity is not built into The blockchain. If it wasn’t you that moved the coins, chances are it was a malicious actor so unfortunately they are likely gone. Sorry for your loss :( – chytrik – 2018-01-21T14:15:04.807
