1You don't send dollars to BTC wallets, you send bitcoins. Did you send a different amount than what you received?Mike D 2018-11-28T12:47:57.707

Bitcoin ATMs charge fees for currency exchange. Sometimes they use jaw-dropping spreads on exchange rates. They are usually very expensive. Possibly more so for small amounts. Check your receipt.

If you think the machine made a mistake, contact the operator (don't contact the owner of the floorspace, they mostly just rent the floorspace they don't own the machine).

and it’s been 4 days

Waiting longer won't make any more BTC turn up. The transaction is done.


Footnote/Digression:

Bitcoin ATMs are not Automated Teller Machines (ATMs) they are automated currency exchanges, a different thing. Calling them BTMs is marginally better.

Should I have sent the bitcoin to my private key instead of public keyZoeGod GT 2018-11-28T20:59:28.793

@ZoeGodGT it will be helpful to stop thinking in terms of "I sent this many dollars", and start thinking in terms of "I sent this amount of BTC". The issue of considering the $ value is compounded by the volatile nature of BTC. The price dropped in the last few days, so there is a good chance your bitcoin was probably just worth more at the time of purchase then it is now. Bitcoin is sent to bitcoin addresses, not private keys. Do not ever share a private key.chytrik 2018-11-28T22:29:18.160
