@maxinpower, what jon says is true, in your wallet, under SBD, click on Market, not Convert.. Buy Steem from there, you lose a few cents, but it's almost immediate, and you don't risk the chance of the currency fluctuating. Did this a few days ago, after googling online! A much more proven method!

I Know I should have used the external market, I mentioned this in my post.

I'm just puzzled that Steemit is using the 1 Dollar peg to convert Steem Dollars because the market price is much higher.

It wasnt mentioned anywhere!!
