I'm trying to send to Shapeshift while stating priority and ring size. I'm either getting Error: failed to parse address or Error: payment id has invalid format. I'm using [] around the priority, ring size, and payment ID, as the example on wallet-cli shows. I'm also copying the address and payment ID straight from Shapeshift. I'm getting these problems without the [] as well.

The [] characters are not meant to represent actual [ and ] characters to type. They are normally used to denote optional parameters, though this not always the case.
If you wanted to send a normal priority transaction for 10 monero to address 4blah with ring size 5 and payment id 1234, then you would use:
transfer normal 5 4blah 10 1234
The real payment ID should be 256 bits (64 hexadecimal characters). If you see one that's only 64 bits (16 hexadecimal characters), it's not meant to be used manually, and should be used as part of an integrated address.

Ok, that brought me to a double spend error. I think the gui-wallet is messing some things up here.– LoraxCommented Sep 23, 2017 at 14:18

I was also putting in a mixin count where that word "normal" should be.– LoraxCommented Sep 23, 2017 at 14:43

Double spend can happen if the wallet crashes after sending, etc, or if you use the wallet file from two programs at the same time. Did this happen ? Anyway, you can run "rescan_spent" in the wallet, or there should be a button for this somewhere in the GUI. Commented Sep 23, 2017 at 15:43

There's a
Rescan wallet balancebutton on theSettingspage of the GUI.– dEBRUYNECommented Oct 23, 2017 at 19:31
