A: 366 represents the approximate number of coins available for purchase in the list (based on real-time display).

Question 7

Q7: What should I check first if an order fails or funds are delayed?

Accepted Answer

A: First, verify that all required verifications have been completed, check whether the payment method is still selectable, and determine if any limits or risk control have been triggered. Next, review the order status and on-chain/payment channel receipts. If the issue persists, follow the help center instructions to submit a ticket and attach the order number and time information.
