Error: Not Enough ETH to Send

An explanation of the "Error: Not enough ETH to send' message and what to do when you see it.

Written by Brittany Acosta

If you are getting the error that looks like this: 'Not enough ETH to send', 'Out of gas', or 'Insufficient funds' it means you do not have enough ETH in your account to cover the cost of gas. To send the transaction, buy ETH directly in your MEW wallet or add more ETH from a different wallet.

Each transaction (including token and contract transactions) requires gas, and that gas is paid in ETH. You can think of this like a transaction fee that's paid to the network. MEW does not set or collect the gas fee.

For more assistance in buying ETH, please see the following articles:
