The Grand Wizard is still trying to transfer the proceeds of his first Ethereum sale from AlphaBay. We even sent some extra funds to our account to get above the minimum payment amount. After going on 48 hours, our transaction is still "Processing." (It was marked as "finalized" at one point but no funds showed up in our wallet: Support fixed that quickly, for which we are grateful).
Apparently AlphaBay has set up an "obfuscator" to hide the origins of Ethereum transactions coming from their site. We appreciate their efforts at security, but if AlphaBay Forums are any indication this has also resulted in some very delayed transactions. One of Ethereum's main selling points is that you can send and receive funds more quickly than with Bitcoin: take that away and there is little reason to use Ethereum. We are no longer taking Ethereum or Monero on AlphaBay until they get this sorted out. While we appreciate their willingness to branch out into altcoins, we would urge them to work on their implementation.
And of course the mods are going to sticky this to take the chance to bash AB at the first opportunity. Anyway we never took funds from anyone, if there are any issue we'll be glad to look into it.
