<p>Try copying the transaction into electrum and see if you can sign &amp; broadcast it there yourself.</p>
<p>It's under Tools -&gt; Load transaction -&gt; From text. It opens a new window where you can paste the transaction. If electrum has the correct private key available, it will offer you the options to sign &amp; broadcast the transaction.</p>

<p>Please I need help. I have made an transaction online using bitcoin, but the order cancelled and now my bitcoins are stuck. I've been using coinb.in the first time a while ago and was able to do it successfully. Now the private key is not letting me pass the same one I used last time. What can I do to get back my bitcoins?</p>

Please I need help. I have made an transaction online using bitcoin, but the order cancelled and now my bitcoins are stuck. I've been using coinb.in the first time a while ago and was able to do it successfully. Now the private key is not letting me pass the same one I used last time. What can I do to get back my bitcoins?

I've been using Electrum wallet since.
I'm trying to explain my situation better.

So this is where it starts this is my cancelled order. I've redacted parts of them, but you hopefully get the idea.

Try copying the transaction into electrum and see if you can sign & broadcast it there yourself.

It's under Tools -> Load transaction -> From text. It opens a new window where you can paste the transaction. If electrum has the correct private key available, it will offer you the options to sign & broadcast the transaction.

Ideally always avoid sending your private keys to third parties.
