Dispute
A formal conflict resolution flow when buyer and seller disagree about a trade.
Explanation
In P2P, keep all chat and proof on-platform so a dispute can be resolved fairly.
Why it matters
- It’s the mechanism that protects you when something goes wrong.
- A strong dispute outcome depends on on-platform evidence.
- It sets a fair process instead of “who shouts louder”.
Examples
- “Open a dispute if the buyer claims they paid but you don’t see it.”
- “Provide proof of payment and chat logs in the dispute.”
Common mistakes
- Going off-platform, then having no usable evidence.
- Waiting too long to raise a dispute while the situation escalates.
- Posting partial screenshots without timestamps or IDs.
