# Why did my transfer or withdrawal fail even though I have enough total balance?

Transfers and withdrawals are checked against your **available** balance, not your total. If enough of your funds are locked in escrow, you'll see a message like *"Insufficient available balance -- some funds may be locked in escrow."* Free up funds by completing or cancelling the open offer/trade/withdrawal that's holding them, then try again.
