I apologize for the newbie question, but I want to send ETH from my Poloniex account to someone else's. Is it possible to do this directly from my Poloniex account?
2 Answers
Yes, it should be possible:
In your first account (from where you are sending), go to https://poloniex.com/balances, find ETH, click Withdraw.
Open your second account in a different browser, go to https://poloniex.com/balances, find ETH, click Deposit. Check the Deposit address and save it.
Go back to your first account, insert the deposit address from the second account.
You should try transferring a small amount first to check if it works.

I did this, and I can track the withdrawal in the first account, but I can't see the deposit on the second one.– EutherpyJul 8, 2016 at 22:57

Can you check the transaction ID of the withdrawal here: poloniex.com/depositHistory , then go to etherscan.io/tx/YOURTRANSACTIONID . Is it showing up there? It might still be pending?– k-zarJul 8, 2016 at 23:04

Yes, it's showing up there, but still nothing on the second account.– EutherpyJul 8, 2016 at 23:09

1They must be waiting for a set number of confirmations then. They are known to be slow with that: bitsharestalk.org/index.php?topic=7503.0 . Contact their support if the coins are missing: poloniex.freshdesk.com/support/home– k-zarJul 8, 2016 at 23:11

I'll wait a bit more and if nothing happens, I'll contact them... Thanks anyway!– EutherpyJul 8, 2016 at 23:15
Note:
Just in case someone else is not seeing a record of their transaction, here's the reply I received from Poloniex's support:
The minimum amount of ETH that can be deposited here before it shows in your account is 1. The next time you will deposit ETH and the sum of the two deposits is bigger then 1, the total amount including your last deposit will be credited.
