How can I get the little bit of money I have in Ethereum back to me? To my bank account? It’s done nothing in the past two months. Crypto is useless to me. When I ask it to send my money, it doesn’t show me anyplace I can actually send to.
Thanks.
Description of the issue:
Is the issue occurring on a specific network?
What operating system are you using?
Brave Version (check About Brave):
Additional Information:
Hello,
You can off-ramp your crypto using the Ramp provider.
You’re looking at a summary page which is saying you have $287.36 in your portfolio. At this stage you aren’t opening your portfolio at all to even try to take a look at your assets.
You could click on Accounts which at least shows balance on each network, such as below:
But your best bet is to hit the 
which then directs you to brave://wallet/crypto/portfolio/assets which shows all of the specific tokens and quantities. Such as screenshot below:
@Pb4072 do you not try clicking on things? For example:
Then you’ll have to offload at some other exchange. There are plenty available. In many cases this will mean creating an account with a centralized exchange like Coinbase, Uphold, etc and then sending the crypto there so you can exchange it.
There are other options through other types of exchanges or trying to sell directly, but you’ll need to research on that and be aware that it comes with certain risks if you’re not knowledgeable. At least centralized exchanges tend to have little to no risk at all.
@Evan123 and @steeven all of the above said and done, could you relay feedback to appropriate people that this is an area where we can make some improvement? We could have it a bit easier to find and do. For example:
Thanks. But, when I choose “Sell,” it shows me a blank screen, as if I have no money at all. I only have $268.88. I bought $300 to start with. This is what I see after choosing “Sell.”
@Pb4072 it shows you have 0.109291 ETH. It’s asking you to choose how much of that you want to sell. So either click where it says 0.00 and type in a number or you can click on the HALF or MAX button to generate that much.
Don’t forget that you won’t be able to send if you choose MAX because you need some ETH to remain in your Wallet to pay the gas fee. So reduce what you choose by amount needed for gas.
This is absolutely ridiculous now. Here’s what it says when I put that “number” in. I mean, why in the world can’t it just use dollars and cents?
You cannot send it all at once. You need to withhold a small amount to pay the gas fee on the blockchain. You can learn more here: https://support.brave.com/hc/en-us/articles/15086424245389-Understanding-Gas-and-Fees
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I chose MAX. And, here is where I am. Why should I pay any “gas fee?” And, how am I supposed to know how much that is? All of this is really making me hate crypto. Even Brave now.
What the hell is my “Ethereum (ETH) address?”
And, here’s what it says in the link you just sent me, Saoiray.
“Brave Wallet automatically adjusts the price of gas for the amount that will likely be required to successfully complete a transaction.”
So, when will it tell me how the “gas fee” is?
@Pb4072 Cryptocurrency can be confusing, especially when it comes to understanding fees and wallet types. It’s always a good idea to start small and research as much as you can before making larger transactions.
To clarify, Brave Wallet is a self-custody wallet. This means you have full control over your assets, but it also means that withdrawing funds can require going through an exchange, which often involves gas fees or other transaction fees.
This is why some users opt for custodial wallets like those provided by Binance, Coinbase, or Uphold. The downside is that your cryptocurrency is technically in the custody of those companies, which means you need to rely on them to keep your funds secure. If they detect any suspicious activity, they can freeze your funds. Self-custody wallets avoid this but require you to manage exchanges and gas fees yourself.
Regarding the Ramp integration in Brave, it’s one of several exchanges you can use. You can also use others if you find their fees more favorable.
In the screenshot you shared, you should see a Details button next to the amount of 266.42 USD you’ll receive. Clicking that will provide a breakdown of the fees.
The gas fee is essentially the cost for processing a transaction on the blockchain—it’s required to move your crypto from one wallet or platform to another.

Thanks. OK. Under Details, it tells me exactly what my fees are, in dollars and cents no less. Now, where do I get my Ethereum address? And, it appears to me that it’s going to take my fees out automatically. Isn’t it?
I thought I did start small here. I only invested $300. And, it’s not gained one cent. That’s why I want out.
Yeah, once you get to that point.
Guess it depends on your money. $300 is pretty steep for me, but to each their own.
Crypto like Ethereum, Solana, etc tend to be more long-term investments. Your quicker changes will happen in meme coins and all, but they also are more volatile and can crash.
I was going to answer a bit more but my ride is here and I have to go. Might give some more info later .,
OK. Thanks for all your help.
