In this article, we will discuss about P2P appeal and handling rules on Bitget. Both parties (buyer or seller) may submit their appeals under several scenarios/case studies.
Buyer's Appeal
1. An order was canceled.
When the buyer had completed the payment but the order’s time limit was exceeded and was automatically canceled by the system; or if the order was canceled by mistake after the buyer completed the payment, Bitget P2P specialist will contact the seller for a refund on a best effort basis.
If the seller refuses to refund, Bitget is not liable for any losses from this transaction. On the other hand, Bitget reserves the right to suspend the P2P function from user who is uncooperative during the process.
2. Payment amount and order amount do not match.
When the actual amount paid by the buyer is greater than the order amount, and the buyer proceeds to click [Paid], Bitget P2P specialist will contact the seller for a refund.
If the seller refuses to refund, the buyer is solely responsible for the loss of funds. Bitget reserves the right to suspend the P2P function from user who is uncooperative during the process.
3. The seller has not released the cryptos in time.
If the buyer successfully completed the payment by using the real-time payment method and the seller did not release the cryptos in time, Bitget P2P specialist will contact the seller to release the cryptos. If the seller doesn't respond within a given timeframe, the Bitget P2P specialist will release the crypto manually.
If the buyer used the non-instant payment method to make the payment and the seller still has not receive the payment in time, Bitget P2P specialist will contact the seller and ask them to release the cryptos within a period of time (Bitget P2P specialist will advise the waiting period accordingly, depending on what type of payment methods).
If the payment hasn’t arrived within the prescribed time limit, the seller needs to contact Bitget P2P specialist to report the issue.
If the seller hasn't contacted us, it will be considered as the payment was received. Bitget P2P specialist will release the cryptos manually.
4. The seller is unwilling to release the cryptos.
The buyer has paid the correct amount from their account (the account holder’s name matched with the verified name on their Bitget account), but the seller is unwilling to release the cryptos and is trying to settle the deal at a higher price. The order will be released manually by the Bitget P2P specialist, except for cases where the price is abnormally low (-10% market price), which will be escalated to Bitget P2P specialist.
5. The buyer left a remark for the transfer, and the seller hasn't released the cryptos.
If the buyer included sensitive information in the payment remarks when making a transfer (despite the seller has already stated in their terms not to mention such words), Bitget P2P specialist will contact the seller to either release the cryptos or issue a refund. Any fee incurred during the refund should be covered by the buyer.
6. Other requirements in notes.
If the seller puts forward requirements other than notes (such as adding other social media accounts before the transaction, additional Identity Verification, etc.), the buyer can refuse to continue the transaction. Any of the counterparty (buyer or seller) or P2P specialist team can cancel the order as long as no payment was made during the process.
7. Use of offensive languages.
Given a scenario where any of the two parties used offensive languages in the P2P chat box or comment section, Bitget P2P specialist team will analysis the scene before taking any action against the uncooperative counterparty.
8. Suspected fraud.
If there is any fraudulent behavior during the transaction, Bitget P2P specialist has the rights to permanently suspend the fraudulent party's P2P transaction function after verification, removing all advertisements (such as those posted by the fraudulent account), and lock the fraudulent party's assets (if any).
